![]() ![]() ![]() But its style is even balder ,and it's finally much less accessible even if you've been to Sunday school and you have a good knowledge of the Gospels ,you might often seem lost the viewer tries to cling to famous events in the last days of the Christ:when Jesus entered Jerusalem ,carrying a donkey (and not riding it) ,his "my temple should be a house of prayer and you made it a den of thieves " is given a free-for-all treatment.The adulteress episode is perhaps the most conventional (which does not say much):Jesus is drawing strange signs on the ground ,before saying that "he without sin cast the first stone" the woman who pours pricey perfume on Jesus ' hair is called Suzanne (which makes sense for there was a woman called so among the Christ's followers ,married with a wealthy man:the scene when she buys the perfume is revealing) on the other hand ,the two main female figures of the Passion (Mary and Mary- Magdelene) are not featured here. It was not the first time someone had thrown new light on the most famous traitor in history even in the seventies,Franco Zephirelli showed a "political" Judas ,disappointed because Jesus' plan was not to free his people from the Roman yoke but this film and "Histoire De Judas" are polar opposites:anti-Hollywoodian to the core,this effort is much closer to Pasolini's " Il Vangelo Secondo Matteo".
