This 1964 film by Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini is a profound and challenging representation of Matthew’s Gospel. It uses powerful imagery to tell much of the story, and most of the dialogue is faithful to the Gospel text. Just a week before Holy Week, this film will help us discuss the story of Jesus and the varied interpretations of Jesus’ suffering and death. Bring dinner if you want, invite a friend, and enjoy the free popcorn.
Upcoming movies:
April 26 The Life of Brian
May 24 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
