Review of The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) by Jeremy S — 24 May 2010
I've watched this at least 3 times and each time I'm blown away by Willem Dafoes' portrayal of a man terrified by his destiny and haunted by the fight between his human desire and Gods plan and David Bowies understated Pilate was excellent. A sensational film and so true to the book.
Remember the Father Ted type protests of the 70's? (careful now, down with this sort of thing) Why? this portrayed a Man chosen by God but still full of doubt BUT who triumphed over the devil and his temptation in the end. SO what exactly was their protest about?
