Résumés(1)
Un ange vient annoncer à Joseph que sa femme Marie attend le fils de Dieu : Jésus. Jésus s'approche de Jean-Baptiste près du Jourdain et est fait Christ. Il se retire ensuite dans le désert pendant quarante jours et quarante nuits puis s'en va prêcher la bonne parole entouré de quelques disciples. Il opère une dizaine de miracles et entre dans la ville acclamé par la foule. Trahit par Judas, il meurt sur le Golgotha. Son dernier cri renverse les murs de la ville. Il ferme les yeux dans une lumière éblouissante et ressuscite trois jours plus tard. (Carlotta Films)

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 country is beautiful, the surroundings look almost authentic, and actually, the black and white camera suits it quite well. However, it doesn't change the fact that the film is very lengthy and I think there are better works that explore the fate of Jesus. Personally, I hold "The Passion of Christ" much higher than this piece, which tries to delve deeper.
