Jesus Month: "The Gospel According to Saint Matthew" (1964, Dir: Pier Paolo Pasolini)

Corbin and Matt talk about THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SAINT MATTHEW, Marxist Neorealist Pier Paolo Pasolini's pretty straight on take on the book of Matthew. Topics: Where's Mary Magdeline?, a political Jesus, yet another disappointing crucifixion, and the temptation to find some sense in Judas. Check out a good essay on the move here. Corbin's reccomendation can be seen on Mubi, if you're that kind of sicko. He also reccomends a movie that is presently in theaters. Acquire Matt's reccomendation here.  Next week: THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST! Watch it here!
