Like Anne Rice's character, the Jesus of Kazantzakis is caught up in a mission larger than himself, one that he comes to understand piece by piece. Based on a novel by Greek Communist Nikos Kazantzakis, The Last Temptation is a blasphemous and pornographic big-screen attack on the divinity and the gospel message of Jesus Christ. For the modern Greek wanderers Seferis, Elytis and Kazantzakis, the Odyssey serves a centering function similar to the Romanian's Miorita, with this difference: the locus for the Greek writer's homesickness is a geographical nostalgia. |
