If you loved Theorem, try The Gospel According to St. Matthew

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, and they both carry the cult, foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Theorem, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Gospel According to St. Matthew is

Bresson meets Italian neorealism. A stark, sun-blasted Jesus gathers disciples with blunt parables that unsettle the authorities. Shot in black and white with non-actors, it hums like a folk hymn.
