Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

At last, Martin Scorsese's most personal masterpiece can be viewed outside of the controversy it engendered, and seen for what it is: A 15 year labor of love. Nikos Kazantzakis' landmark novel comes to breathtaking life in this moving and spiritual film. The all-star cast includes Harvey Keitel, Barbara Hershey, Harry Dean Stanton, David Bowie, and Willem Dafoe as Jesus.

Customer Reviews

Not like the great book of the same title. - Reviewed on 2008-08-29

I was very disappointed when I viewed this DVD. I had been hoping it would be like the great classic THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST by Nikos Kazantzakis. The acting was not very realistic and the storyline did not follow the storyline in the book (which makes it a controversial classic).

This is a bootleg. The all regions format is generally a pretty good indication that a DVD is a bootleg.

This "Director's Cut": is exactly the same as the laserdisc release of some years ago. I am guessing that somewhere along the line, a cut version might have been issued, but the one here contains nothing that has not already been seen. Aside from this, though, the transfer is gorgeous with clear, razor-sharp images and dynamic sound...all this for just half the price of the domestic release. If you have not yet seen the film, it is one of the most powerful statements ever made about the life of Jesus. To be sure, there are a few cringing moments that seem to go against common Christian mores but as a whole, it is inspiring beyond belief and I don't think that you will ever forget the final revealation of Satan near the end of the film.
