Enrique Irazoqui M Margherita Caruso S Susanna Pasolini M Marcello Morante M Mario Socrate S Settimio Di Porto What The Gospel According to St. Matthew Is About
The Gospel of Matthew is staged without additions. All the dialogue is taken from the text; there is no narrator and no commentary. The film casts mostly non-professionals and shoots in the poor towns of southern Italy; the result is not a devotional tableau but a crowd of worn faces. The music sets sources as far apart as Bach and African liturgy side by side. Pier Paolo Pasolini directed. He was a Marxist and an unbeliever, and the film was nonetheless accepted in Catholic circles. Who it's for: those who want to see a religious text approached formally. Who it's not for: viewers expecting a lavish biblical adaptation; this is deliberately plain and hard.
