'''''The Last Temptation of Christ''''' is a film released in 1988 based on a novel by the same name.  The Film was directed by Nikos Kazantzakis, and stars Willem Dafoe as [[Jesus]] Christ and Harvey Keitel as [[Judas]] Iscariot.  Emphasizing the aspect of Jesus as human, the film shows him as a bit of a bumbling bafoon who the Pharisees run circles around.  It also has him make pantheistic statements about God being in all things.  Due to its blasphemous nature, it was heavily picketed when it first came out.  The film did not do well at the box office, but has been a favorite of secular Hollywood and is shown relatively often on movie channels.

The Film covers Jesus's ministry years, including his acquisition of apostles, and his temptations in the desert, up until his crucifixion.  It makes Judas a type of hero.
