35th ANNIVERSARY SCREENINGS! Martin Scorsese directs his passion project; an adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis' controversial novel written for the screen by Paul Schrader. Nominated for Best Director at the Academy Awards, THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST caused a furor upon release despite critical acclaim and nominations for both performance and craft. Willem Dafoe stars as Jesus of Nazareth, a man torn between God's plan for him and his own human desires. Accused of collaborating with the Romans, Jesus preaches that his message one of love for all mankind.
Co-starring Harvey Keitel, Barbara Hershey, Harry Dean Stanton and David Bowie, Scorsese's biblical drama returns to the screen ahead of the filmmaker's latest anticipated epic, Killers Of The Flower Moon.
