Friday, April 6 – 7:30 PM
THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, 1988, Universal, 164 min. Dir. Martin Scorsese. An insightful, intensely personal adaptation of the Nikos Kazantzakis novel that dares to portray Jesus as human as well as divine. Willem Dafoe is a realistic, believable Christ beset by doubt, whose faith and selflessness finally triumph in the ultimate self-sacrifice. This indelibly moving film features a dream cast with Harvey Keitel as an idealistic Judas tortured by unfolding destiny and a luminous Barbara Hershey as a sensual, sensitive Mary Magdalene. Discussion following with actress Barbara Hershey. [35mm]
