About this product

Product Information

This striking vision from the mind of director Martin Scorsese offers an allegorical interpretation of the last days of Jesus Christ, based on the book by Nikos Kazantzakis. Based strictly on Kazantzakis's book, the film has a very different focus than past portraits of the "Messiah." This Jesus (Willem Defoe) is a man wracked with doubt over his position among his followers and fear of the role God has chosen for him, as well as the pain that must accompany it. He is unsure whether the messages he receives come from God or Satan, and he is tempted by a mortal life filled with earthly possessions and sensual love, resulting in a controversial, though genuinely sympathetic, account of Christianity's most revered figure.Scorsese establishes a dreamlike mood by combining Michael Ballhaus‘s photography with a transcendent soundtrack by Peter Gabriel in order to fully explore the idea that perhaps Jesus was both God and man. Rather than train his assembled cast to deliver their lines in historically accurate dialects, Scorsese lets each individual speak with their true accent, which makes for an initially jarring, yet eventually moving, experience. In addition to Defoe, Barbara Hershey, David Bowie, and Harvey Keitel all deliver sincere performances that fulfill Scorsese's vision even more completely.

The item was in superb condition for the price and carefully shipped double wrapped in bubble wrap inside a hard cardboard box, so it arrived in just as great of condition as it had left in. My copy came with not only the poster but all of the original postcard mailers inside as well. Very glad to have gotten such a well cared for copy from a clearly outstanding seller! Thank you!

    I saw this movie many years ago. It was banned by the Catholic Church.It didn't keep me from seeing it,though. Or make me feel that it made me any less of a Christian for watching it. I thought it was a story equally compelling as the view taught by the church. Only that there was a "twist" as the story goes. Christ is a man, with human feelings. Christ is God incarnate, with Godly feelings as well. He ultimately wins in his struggle for us as sinners. That is the crux of it. That is the thrust of the life of the man called Jesus. Oh, and Willem Dafoe was excellent in his portrayal!
