Drama bíblico inovadoramente naturalista e despojado, com a vida de Cristo recontada a partir do Evangelho segundo Mateus.
As parábolas, os primeiros discípulos, a revolta, a determinação, os milagres, a intolerância, a solidão e a impaciência. Assim Jesus conseguiu uma legião de seguidores e inimigos, segundo o Evangelho de São Mateus. Nesta obra maior, o realizador italiano Pier Paolo Pasolini apresenta-nos um Cristo completamente distinto do estilo ‘épico’ com que o cinema o vinha caracterizando; um Cristo solar que se faz acompanhar da música de Bach, enquanto a Virgem é interpretada pela mãe do próprio autor.

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.
