He Who Must Die (1957)

Greece, in the 1920s, is occupied by the Turks. The country is in turmoil with entire villages uprooted. The site of the movie is a Greek village that conducts a passion play each year. The leading citizens of the town, under the auspices of the Patriarch, choose those that will play the parts in the Passion. A stuttering shepherd is chosen to play Jesus. The town butcher (who wanted to be Jesus) is chosen as Judas. The town prostitute is chosen as Mary Magdalene. The rest of the disciples are also chosen. As the movie unfolds, the Passion Play becomes a reality. A group of villagers, uprooted by the war and impoverished, arrive at the village led by their priest. The wealthier citizens of the town want nothing with these people and manipulate a massacre. In the context of the 1920s, each of the characters plays out their biblical role in actuality.

I can't understand how I only heard of this movie because I was familiar with the novel on which it was based. It's a brilliant, beautifully crafted piece of work, a modern reimagining of the story of Christ as a revolutionary. I'm not totally sold on the way it eventually builds into a Marxist call for violent revolution, but man is it powerful, and, whether I ultimately agree with Dassin's take on Kazantzakis or not, I do think it's a valid interpretation of the Jesus story. Great writing, great direction, great black and white Cinemascope photography, great movie.

Powerful Christian allegory based on Nikos Kazantzakis' brilliant novel The Greek Passion.

(ellhnika:"O Xristos ksanastavrwnetai")Masterpiece! It shows very clearly how easily people are manipulated by authority and especially the Church and how Greeks are unable to unite and help each other. One of the movies that make you a better person... I must read the book...

"I just realized, if Christ returned today, he would be crucified again... and you would be the one driving in the nails."

An incredibly well observed retelling of the Christ story in a semi-modern setting, through a Greek village's reenactment of a Passion play. Provides a damming commentary on the religious institute and its role in society and celebrates humanism no matter what your beliefs, religious or not.
