Stars: Enrique Irazoqui, Susanna Pasolini, Mario Socrate, Margherita Caruso, Marcello Morante

Director: Pier Paolo Pasolini

Summary: An entirely non-professional cast act out an adaptation of the Gospel according to St. Matthew's biblical account. Italian dialogue with subtitles.

Christ's life is presented with respect for the traditional religious doctrine of the church, but Pasolini's trademark naturalism "humanizes" his subject and makes Him his own. The documentary-style camera captures Christ's meetings with the men who were to become his disciples, the Last Supper, and the betrayal by Judas. Note the rich music of Bach, Mozart, Prokofiev and Webern and Odetta's passionate singing. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best (Adapted) Score.
