Relating his facts in straight-on documentary fashion, Pier Paolo Pasolini's 1964 Biblical film stars Enrique Irazoqui as Jesus. In it, Christ and his followers are depicted as gentle radicals working against the grain of the unjust Roman power structure. Typically offbeat Pasolini touches include having Satan disguise himself as a Catholic priest and the casting of the director's own mother as the Virgin Mary. The music is selected from a variety of sources, from Bach to American spirituals. Il Vangelo Secondo Matteo was released in the U.S. as The Gospel According to St. Matthew -- much to the discomfort of Pasolini, who didn't want Matthew designated as a saint. Hal Erickson, Rovi

I was expecting more from this film simply because of its online build-up. It's long, slow moving, and much has to be read between the lines. Luckily for me, as a Catholic, I could do that. But for someone without almost intimate knowledge of the gospel, the story must be very difficult to follow and to understand the significance of. It also has a very "Italian" voice which I appreciate, but everyone may not get or like.
