The carpenter Jesus of Nazareth, tormented by the temptations of demons, the guilt of making crosses for the Romans, pity for men and the world, and the constant call of God, sets out to find what God wills for him. But as his mission nears fulfillment, he must face the greatest temptation: the normal life of a good man.

"Het leven van Jezus Christus waarin ook hij blootstaat aan de vele verleidingen waaraan de mens blootstaat met als slot zijn sterven aan het kruis."
"A Martin Scorese picture."
"Jésus est tourmenté parce qu'il se sent appelé par Dieu à une mission qu'il craint d'affronter. Une fois engagé, il lui faut surmonter au désert les tentations de Satan. Prêchant la révolution par l'amour, Jésus perçoit qu'il devra accepter de mourir sur une croix pour accomplir son destin. Arrêté et crucifié, il est l'objet d'une dernière tentation sous forme d'un délire hallucinatoire qui lui fait entrevoir une vie paisible de patriarche s'il renonce à son rôle de messie souffrant."
"SUMMARY: "The carpenter Jesus of Nazareth, tormented by the temptations of demons, the guilt of making crosses for the Romans, pity for men and the world, and the constant call of God, sets out to find what God wills for him. But as his mission nears fulfillment, he must face the greatest temptation: the normal life of a good man. Based, not on the Gospels, but on Nikos Kazantzakis' novel of the same name." (IMDB)"

"Nicht als Übertragung des biblischen Stoffes, sondern als Verfilmung des Romans von Kazantzakis zu verstehender Versuch, sich mit der Person Jesus von Nazareth, seiner Verkündigung und seinem Kampf bis zur Kreuzigung auseinanderzusetzen. Dabei wird Jesus in seiner Menschlichkeit dargestellt, die eine in einer langen Traumsequenz ausgemalte "letzte Versuchung", sich der göttlichen Bestimmung zu entziehen, einschließt. Der in mehreren Darstellungen biblischer Episoden plakative und enttäuschend flache Film stellt sich durch sein Gottesbild und die Zeichnung Jesu Christi in grundsätzlichen Widerspruch zur christlichen Heilsbotschaft. In ihrem ikonografischen Charakter wirken die Bilder ohne spirituelle Kraft und verfehlen den zentralen Aspekt des christlichen Glaubens, die erlösende Anteilnahme Gottes am existentiellen Sein der Menschen. Zuschauer, die den dargestellten Jesus als Jesus der Bibel (miß-)verstehen, können zu Recht Anstoß nehmen. (www.filmevona-z.de, 3.12.2008)."
"Jesús, un carpintero de Nazaret, vive atormentado por su sentimiento de culpa ante las tentaciones aunque él recibe constantemente la llamada de Dios. Y decide averiguar qué es lo que quiere Dios de él. Pero cuando está a punto de completar su misión, la tentación le acecha de nuevo, una visión de su vida junto a María Magdalena hace que dude del sacrificio que Dios le ha impuesto para salvar al resto de los hombres."

"Extrait du résumé figurant au dos de la jaquette : "Ce film librement inspiré du livre de Nikos Kazantzaris, propose une interprétation de la vie du Christ qui n'est pas toujours conforme aux Evangiles. Certaines scènes ont été inventées à des fins dramatiques. Oeuvre de recherche où le réalisateur souhaite exprimer en toute sincérité sa foi personnelle.""

"A controversial film interpretation of the life of Christ, based on the equally controversial book."
"Martin Scorsese's look at the last year of Christ, as if he were an ordinary man. The DVD contains audio commentary by Scorsese, Dafoe, and more."@en
"Thought-provoking and deeply felt drama adapted from Nikos Kazantzakis' book which speculates about Jesus' self-doubts when he realizes he has been chosen by God to carry his message."
"This fifteen-year labor of love, an adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis's landmark novel that imagines an alternate fate for Jesus Christ, features outstanding performances, bold cinematography, and a transcendent score."
"Martin Scorsese struggled for fifteen years to translate the Kazantzakis novel into film, believing that its story had profound relevance to today's world. "I had hoped it would be the kind of film that would engender very healthy discussions on the nature of God and man and how the Church should change to meet today's needs." The director's controversial film eschews the biblical spectacle in favor of the more intimate and incisive form, the psychodrama. The Jesus of this cinematic study is earthy, not ethereal, self-doubting rather than sublimely confident. When he preaches the Sermon on the Mount, it is delivered with caution to a small and sceptical gathering. In the film's most challenged sequence, Christ is rescued from crucified martyrdom by a guardian angel and permitted to live in domestic tranquility with Mary Magdalene. Berated by Judas for abandoning his heavenly calling, however, Christ returns to the cross and destiny. (Does not circulate)."

"A powerful and very modern reinterpretation of Jesus as a man wracked with anguish and doubt concerning his appointed role in life. The film is not based upon the Gospels but upon "a fictional exploration of the eternal spiritual conflict -- the battle between the spirit and the flesh," as Nikos Kazantzakis summarized the theme of his novel."@en
