Synopsis:
Martin Scorsese's controversial drama, starring Willem Dafoe as a self-doubting Jesus who dreams of escaping His destiny and living an ordinary life. Based on Nikos Kazantzakis' book, the film faced criticism on release, due partly to an unexpected sex scene, and also to its portrayal of a less-than-perfect Christ - but forget the media outcry and take the time to enjoy this wonderful thought-provoking film. Harvey Keitel, Barbara Hershey and David Bowie also number among the cast
