About the film
The Gospel According to St. Matthew at a glance.
Screen Path places this 1964 film at stop 234 in one curated journey through cinema. The learning experience adds context before you watch and deeper analysis after.
Along a rocky, barren coastline, Jesus begins teaching, primarily using parables. He attracts disciples; he's stern, brusque, and demanding. His parables often take on the powers that be, so he and his teachings come to the attention of the Pharisees, the chief priests, and elders. They conspire to have him arrested, beaten, tried, and crucified, just as he prophesied to his followers.
