Description: The life of Christ seen almost as a cinema verité documentary. The script uses direct quotations from the Bible. Pasolini enriches each episode with lingering contemplations of the faces of his nonprofessional actors. Unfolding against an arid landscape, the drama is underlined by the use of sacred music and art works. (Does not circulate)
