Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Tells the life of Christ as if a documentarian on a low budget had been following him from birth.
– Roger Ebert,

fresh:
The consequence is a crescendo of excitement and involvement with the fervor and passion of Jesus and an accumulating sense of the irony and tragedy of Jesus' suffering, in historical as well as spiritual terms.

fresh:
Certainly Pasolini's most satisfying movie.

fresh:
This highly political interpretation of the passion is as scandalous in its own way as Mel Gibson's but more poetic, more contemporary in its impact, and more serious in its overall morality.

fresh:
Pasolini uses a complex but seemingly stark and simple visual style, and he evokes wonderful performances from nonprofessionals Enrique Irazoqui, Margherita Caruso, and Marcello Morante.
