bampfa.org · details A literal Passion project, Martin Scorsese developed and sought funding for this intimate adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis’s controversial novel over fifteen years. With quiet, grinning joy and grimacing anguish, Willem Dafoe plays an all-too-human Jesus Christ, touched by divinity. Harvey Keitel portrays a streetwise, Brooklyn-accented Judas, feeding Christ’s already palpable uncertainty about his station in life (and death) and challenging his indecisions: “Every day you have a different plan.”

bampfa.org · details The way home for Aleksandr Rekhviashvili is not charted in the conventional sense. It takes the viewer along some peculiar roads and across a unique landscape: Georgian history and legend, politics and social stratification, religion and ethics. Allusive, stylized, and allegorical from beginning to end, The Way Home (completed in 1981, released in 1987) is in part a tribute to Rekhviashvili’s favorite director, Pier Paolo Pasolini, especially to The Hawks and the Sparrows .
