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
