Synopsis

Undoubtedly one of the greatest achievements of iconoclastic Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini. The Gospel According to St. Matthew is a moving, quasi-documentary recreation of the life of Christ that takes "the greatest story ever told" and fuses it with neorealist aesthetics. Using non-actors, cinema verite techniques, and shooting on location in Jerusalem, Pasolini grounds this epic tale with an immediacy like no other. "Magnificent . . . Stands today as the most dynamic version of the gospel story ever filmed" (David Cook, A History of Narrative Film). In Italian with English Pier Paolo Pasolini---Italy---1964---136 mins.
