The Last Temptation of Christ

Controversy surrounded the release of Martin Scorsese's reverent retelling of Jesus's last days, adapted by writer Paul Schrader from the acclaimed novel by Nikos Kazantzakis. Willem Dafoe embodies a provocative vision of Christ, a man of very human doubts and temptations, whose life becomes a battleground between the spirit and the flesh. Also starring Harvey Keitel, Barbara Hershey and David Bowie.
