The Gospel According to St. Matthew (Pasolini, 1964)
This Italian adaptation, emphasizing realism and employing many
nonprofessional actors, is often praised for its charismatic, powerful
Christ and unusual adherence to the original text. The result is an emotional,
sometimes meditative presentation of Jesus as a revolutionary force in
the world.
