The Gospel According to Saint Matthew

During the Roman occupation of Israel in the 1st century, a benevolent preacher (Enrique Irazoqui) wanders the land of Galilee professing to be the son of God. This totally original filmic version of the story of Jesus from director Pier Paolo Pasolini combines non-professional actors, magnificent Italian locales, and a stirring classical score for a moving and surprisingly reverent biographical drama. With Margherita Caruso, Marcello Morante, Mario Socrate. 142 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Italian; Subtitles: English; documentary. In Italian with English subtitles.
