Part of the series "Scorsese's Music"

#### January 13 – April 21

This series surveys the long career of America’s greatest living auteur. Across these fourteen films, director Martin Scorsese uses music in nearly every way imaginable—from striking original scores for Taxi Driver and The Last Temptation of Christ to the jazz, opera, pop, rock, blues, R&B, hip hop, and Latin grooves resounding across films like Mean Streets, GoodFellas, The Departed, and The Wolf of Wall Street.

With special introductions for all screenings about Scorsese’s use of music by Todd Decker, Professor of Music and Film History at Washington University.

Jesus, a humble Judean carpenter beginning to see that he is the son of God, is drawn into revolutionary action against the Roman occupiers by Judas — despite his protestations that love, not violence, is the path to salvation. The burden of being the savior of mankind torments Jesus throughout his life, leading him to doubt.

Martin Scorsese received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Director.

> Jonathan Rosenbaum (Chicago Reader): “One of the most thoughtful religious films ever made—provocative in the best sense.”
> Leonard Maltin: “Bold, controversial, and profoundly sincere.”
