The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964)
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964) -- P. P. Pasolini Gripping neorealist version of Jesus story (non-actors, real locations) with Odetta and Bach on the soundtrack -- at least until I fell asleep. Wikipedia reveals that Pasolini was an "unbeliever with a nostalgia for a belief". Where myth and reality meet? (2010 Review).
