Entertainment Reviews:
A defiantly earthy anti-epic, Pasolini's Gospel is a period piece in costume only, placing its rather scruffy, contemporary-looking Christ in the steep southern Italian hills of Calabria.

City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul
Pasolini uses a complex but seemingly stark and simple visual style, and he evokes wonderful performances from nonprofessionals Enrique Irazoqui, Margherita Caruso, and Marcello Morante.

Time Out
4 stars out of 5 -- Pasolini tells his story with unblinking simplicity, shooting documentary-style.
Total Film
"Heightened realism," I had thought at first, and so it was, but as the film wore on the realism began to disappear and only the heightening remained.

Product Description:
Christ's life is presented with respect for the traditional religious doctrine of the Church, but Pasolini's trademark naturalism "humanizes" his subject and makes him his own. The documentary-style camera captures Christ's meetings with the men who were to become his disciples, the Last Supper, the betrayal by Judas, and the Crucifixion. The impassioned music of Bach, Mozart, and Prokofiev lends a further aura of spiritual intensity to the proceedings.
