Review of The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) by Brandy — 16 Jul 2014
One of the great directors forgets every last thing he ever learned about how to shoot a movie in 'The Last Temptation of Christ', one of the stupidest and worst-looking films you'll ever see (or, to be sure, hear).
Religion really does squander the intellect. Scorsese and Schrader also neglect, of course, to include the episodes of the quasihistorical Nazarene's ministry involving his racism, support of slavery or assertion that the world was just about to end.
This movie is a mortal sin, but Scorsese more than atoned for it a decade later by making 'Bringing Out the Dead'.
