This contentious but sincere film caused a storm of protest when it was released in the late Eighties, uncut by the British censor. In this version of the story of Jesus Christ, he is a man racked with doubts and confusion about his calling but goes on to complete his holy mission. It is only when he is upon the cross that he sees a vision of how his life might have been... Heading an interesting cast, Willem Dafoe gives a powerful performance as Jesus, Harvey Keitel plays Judas and David Bowie is Pontius Pilate.
