Review of The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) by Scott R — 18 Sep 2012
With the Arab world murderously aflame over the depiction of their prophet in some cheesy internet vid I thought it a good time to revisit a work (far more legitimate!) that had Christians similarly upset.
Scorcese's main crime here (apart from not putting his lips near any papal rings) appears to not kowtow to any previously tried formula. Men are men, women are women. Somehow though his Christ, full of doubt, fails to elicit real empathy .
