The Gospel According to St Matthew
The Gospel According To St Matthew (1967)
Hailed internationally by film critics as his masterpiece, Pier Paolo Pasolini's greatest film, The Gospel According to St Matthew, is a visually stunning, emotionally stirring interpretation of the life of Christ, based upon the writings of the Apostle Matthew.
The story begins with His birth and illustrates how His teachings attracted not only His disciples, but crowds of believers. When the Pharisees, chief priests and elders learn of Jesus, they conspire to have Him arrested, tried and crucified on the cross. This classic film is a beautiful interpretation of the greatest story ever told, and is a landmark of world cinema.
