The Gospel According to St. Matthew
1965, Italian. Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini.
A Motion Picture which will be seen by the entire world - up to the end of the world!
Along a rocky, barren coastline, Jesus begins teaching, primarily using parables. He attracts disciples; he's stern, brusque, and demanding. His parables often take on the powers that be, so he and his teachings come to the attention of the Pharisees, the chief priests, and elders. They conspire to have him arrested, beaten, tried, and crucified, just as he prophesied to his followers.
