Film about the life of Jesus Christ according to St. Matthew. The story begins with His birth and illustrates how His teachings attracted not only His disciples, but crowds of believers. When the Parisees, chief priests and elders learn of Jesus, they conspire to have Him arrested, beaten, tried and crucified on the cross. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

For a radical leftist and member of the Communist Party, this is a somewhat unconventional subject, which Pasolini, however, dealt with honorably. In my opinion, he approached his biblical narrative a little too intimately, and I also disliked the excessive duration of the film, about 110 minutes would have been more appropriate. On the other hand, it is good to compare this 45-year-old film with the undeniable filmmaking qualities to the much more famous and media-hyped The Passion of the Christ - it is evident immediately how desperately superficial and empty Mel Gibson's film is. Overall impression: 65%. ()
The landscape is stunning, the environment looks almost authentic, and actually, the black-and-white camera suits the film quite well. That doesn't change the fact that the film is very drawn-out, and I believe there are better works that delve into the fate of Jesus. Personally, I rate The Passion of the Christ much higher than this piece, which tries to delve deeper. ()
