The Last Temptation of Christ

Tuesday, April 16, 2002 9:00 PM

Directed by Martin Scorsese, US 1988

While Scorsese's faithful adaptation of the Nikos Kazantzakis novel is a controversial telling of the Christ story, for many believers and nonbelievers alike this exploration of the man behind the myth is considered a true article of faith. Dafoe delivers a brilliant portrayal of a Jesus who, uncertain whether the voices he hears are from God or Satan, is locked in an agonizing battle with his own destiny. A labor of love many years in the planning, Scorsese's epic work is an elegant and thought-provoking treatise on spirituality and existence.
