The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) is a feature film (sound, color, 164m), directed by Martin Scorsese.

~ Screenplay by Paul Schrader, after O teleutaios peirasmos (1951 Kazantzakis), novel.

~ Film Music by Peter Gabriel (the composers developed the soundtrack into a music album released in 1989: see Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of Christ (1989 Gabriel), film music)

Abstract

In this postmodern vision of Kazantzakis’ novel, Jesus is presented as tormented by the burden of his mission, struggling with accepting what God is asking of him, and tempted by earthly love and sexuality.

Jesus first meets the Devil in the desert where he appears to him in the form of a snake, a lion, a pillar of fire and an apple tree. Jesus does not see his face but hears his voice. In the last temptation Satan appears to him on the cross as a young girl angel (Juliette Carton). She tells him that God loves him and wants him to be happy. She helps him down from the cross and he meets up with Mary Magdalene and makes love. He then goes to to live a comfortable life in a cabin with a couple of wives and children. Towards the end of his life, Jesus is told by Judas (Harvey Keitel) he has been a traitor and that the little girl angel was actually Satan, who tricked him into an ordinary domestic life and he has not fulfilled his destiny of sacrificing himself and bringing salvation to all. Jesus cries out “Let me be your son” and he’s instantly back on the cross, fulfilling his destiny, having overcome the last temptation.
