The Last Temptation of Christ

Synopsis

A Nazarene carpenter plagued by divine voices and agonizing self-doubt struggles to understand his mission as the Messiah, crucified on Golgotha where an angelic child offers him a final hallucinated temptation: to step down from the cross and live an ordinary, peaceful mortal life with family, children, and old age before awakening to triumphantly claim his sacrifice: 'It is accomplished!' Martin Scorsese and Paul Schrader's passionate, Oscar-nominated spiritual landmark based on Nikos Kazantzakis starring Willem Dafoe and Harvey Keitel with Peter Gabriel's soundtrack.
