Евангелие от Матфея. Паоло Пазолини. 1965 год
Удивительная картина. Признаюсь, вижу первый раз. Знаю, вернусь ещё.
"Евангелие от Матфея", Паоло Пазолини. 1965. Поездка Пазолини по Палестине, его размышления о том, что он видит... Нет, глупо сформулировал... По большому счёту, он следует маршрутами евангельских героев (что уже безумие, но и его полукатолический коммунизм был безумием, и судьба трагична), пытаясь вжиться в подвиг Христа... Ещё вернусь, поправлю, не получается сформулировать...
Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini.
Italy 1965, 35mm, b/w, 52 min.
In 1963, accompanied by a newsreel photographer and a Catholic priest, Piero Paolo Pasolini traveled to Palestine to investigate the possibility of filming his biblical epic The Gospel According to Matthew in its approximate historical locations. Edited by The GospelФs producer for potential funders and distributors, Seeking Locations in Palestine features semi-improvised commentary from Pasolini as its only soundtrack. As we travel from village to village, we listen to PasoliniХs idiosyncratic musings on the teachings of Christ and witness his increasing disappointment with the people and landscapes he sees before him. Israel, he laments, is much too modern. The Palestinians, much too wretched; it would be impossible to believe the teachings of Jesus had reached these faces. The Gospel According to Matthew was ultimately filmed in Southern Italy. Mel Gibson would use some of the same locations forty years later for The Passion of the Christ.
