À propos de cet audio

In this podcast we talk about Pier Paolo Pasolini's 1964 film 'The Gospel According to Matthew' ('Il vangelo secondo Matteo' is the title in Italian) the unusual cast selection (non-actors), Italian locations and a Jesus depicted with more than a hint of Che Guevara. Russ talks about Pasolini's route to this film, via novels and poems and ealrier films, including a short film depicting the crucifixion in less than reverent terms, and the remarkable fact that the catholic establishment embraced a film by a gay marxist athiest. We discuss the locations, unusual visuals, links to amateur passion plays, stand out scenes and art historical references. We conclude by talking about Pasolini's violent death aged 53 in the 1975.
