The film describes the life of Jesus from the Marxist-Catholic point of view of the director and is both the most criticized and one of the most famous historical paintings. The film is considered a very true film adaptation of the text of the Bible, although Piero Pasolini stated that `... images will never be able to achieve poetic heights of the text.`
