The Gospel According to St. Matthew poster
7.4

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.

The story of Jesus Christ has been portrayed countless times throughout the history of cinema, from the chaste and embryonic staging of the silent film era to the frenetic dynamism of the digital age at the beginning of the 21st century. Death and rebirth are present in a perpetual cycle in which the sacred myth is transformed into the product of a spiritual franchise.
