The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
The death and life of Christ has already gained several interpretations in the movies. Under the gaze of Mel Gibson, we see his last moments in 'The Passion of the Christ'. In 'Mary Magdalene', we saw the humanized Christ. Finally, in the strong and visceral 'The Last Temptation of Christ', Martin Scorsese puts a no-nonsense package on the story of the son of God. Here, Willem Dafoe ('Spider-Man') makes the definitive interpretation of this important biblical figure with a strength that emanates from the screens. It is, without a doubt, the most indigestible adaptation due to its brutality, violence and rupture with softer stories about the crucifixion and betrayal that Christ had to face. However, also because of these attributes, it is the most accurate and coherent account when we think of the times and customs of his time. Great movie.

From the same director
Taxi Driver
A great classic of 1970s cinema, revealing a dirty, unsafe New York with a population without prospects. Robert De Niro's character, Travis Bickle, embodies many of the feelings of society at that time - and which, in some way, seem to resurface in today's world.
The Color of Money
After 25 years, Paul Newman returns to one of his most iconic characters: Eddie Felson, first seen in 'The Hustler'. In this second movie, directed by none other than Martin Scorsese, Newman now has a protege to teach his pool hall and life shenanigans: Tom Cruise. A movie with great performances, which earned Newman his first and only Oscar for a long career.
George Harrison: Living In the Material World
This feature is a must-see for fans of the former Beatle, the director Martin Scorsese, music lovers, or avid watchers of real, deep, and reflective stories. The film uses George's life to bring up questions about materialism and happiness, taking on a poetic and metaphorical tone. It features testimonies from George's wife, son, friends, and other relatives, as well as never seen before archive footage. Winner of two Emmy Awards in 2012.
Goodfellas
One of the best mafia movies of all time (if not the best), impeccably directed by Martin Scorsese at the peak of his career. Based on a true story, 'Goodfellas' portrays the harsh reality of life in the mafia, its splendid and fleeting luxury at the price of a risky life and almost certain death. Nominated for six Oscars and winner of one, for Joe Pesci's insane performance.
Raging Bull
One of the great films of director Martin Scorsese's career, depicting human degradation as we reach fame at any cost. All based on true events - in the life of boxer Jake LaMotta, who began life as a criminal and became a world champion Middleweight. Robert De Niro won the Oscar for Best Actor for the movie.
The Departed
What would Martin Scorsese's version of a movie about criminals and the police in Hong Kong look like? A dive into American mafia, of course - with a star-studded cast featuring names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, and Mark Wahlberg. All coming together in a boiling pot that makes us reflect on what morality is. The result is a dense thriller, yet still entertaining.
The Aviator
Although 'The Aviator' is not, by far, the most celebrated movie of the Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio duo, this 2004 epic drama also deserves not to be forgotten or overlooked. After all, even with a duration of almost three hours, the feature film succeeds in creating a vigorous plot about an aviation pioneer also involved with the film industry. DiCaprio is the great highlight -- although he is not as good as in 'The Wolf of Wall Street', for example -- and has strong support from the cast, with names like Cate Blanchett, Kate Beckinsale, Alan Alda, Alec Baldwin, Jude Law and Willem Dafoe.
Silence
A spiritual and emotional journey, with the story of two Portuguese Jesuit missionaries (played by Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver) in Japan, where they must spread Catholicism and find their mentor (played by Liam Neeson). It took almost 30 years for director Martin Scorsese to adapt the book, written by Shūsaku Endō, to the big screen - and the result is an epic about devotion with beautiful cinematography, which was nominated for an Oscar 2018.
Shutter Island
Martin Scorsese directs Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo in an intriguing psychological thriller. Set in 1952, the plot follows the investigation undertaken by the two characters. On an island housing a psychiatric hospital, they must uncover the whereabouts of a missing patient.
Hugo
A beautiful and emotional movie about a boy who loses his family and sets off on an adventure — and, in the process, finds the magic of cinema. To be watched with family and pass on the love of cinema to future generations. It also has incredible cinematography, sound and production design — all Oscar winners.
The Irishman: In Conversation
It is an indisputable fact that, due to its magnitude, bet and talent involved, 'The Irishman' is one of the great cinematic events of 2019, of its respective decade and perhaps of what we have had so far, of the 21st century. With less than twenty-five minutes, 'The Irishman: In Conversation' is a very revealing short documentary about the origins and creation of Martin Scorsese's masterpiece, in conversation with its stars: Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino (who worked with the director for the first time in his career).
Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese
After 'No Direction Home', this is the second documentary about Bob Dylan directed by Martin Scorsese, who, besides being one of the great names in fiction films with such features as 'Taxi Driver' and 'The Departed', makes fabulous documentaries about the world of music (like 'George Harrison: Living in the Material World'). Therefore, 'Rolling Thunder Revue' is one of those must-see event films shot masterfully, a must-see if you’re a fan of Scorsese, Dylan, cinema, music or all of the above.
The Irishman
This is certainly the most daring film from Netflix in 2019, perhaps in the entire history of the platform so far. After all, it brings to the streaming service one of the greatest Hollywood filmmakers, who helped revitalize the seventh art from the 1970s: Martin Scorsese, the man behind films like 'Taxi Driver' and 'The Departed'. 'The Irishman' is an old desire of the director, adapting the real story from the book 'I Heard You Paint Houses', in which prosecutor and investigator Charles Brandt recounts the life of Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran, an assassin who worked for the mafiosos of the Bufalino Family - and who would have confessed the murder of union leader Jimmy Hoffa, whose disappearance is one of the biggest mysteries of US politics. The cinematic adaptation features famous Scorsese collaborators, including Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci (returning from special retirement especially for this movie) and Harvey Keitel. The final result, although long (3h29 of duration), is a perfect example of Scorsese's filmography, a kind of new 'Goodfellas' and a peak for films about the American mafia.
The Wolf of Wall Street
A funny yet tragic movie that exaggerates the biography of Jordan Belfort - and yet still presents an interesting account of the world of Wall Street, greed, and drug addiction among the wealthy. Not to mention this is the movie that should have given Leonardo DiCaprio his first Oscar.
Drama
O Rio do Desejo
It follows three brothers as they end up living under the same roof with the middle brother's beautiful new wife.
Johnny
Love for the world and other people and about the fact that everyone deserves a second chance. When Patryk receives it from a priest Jan Kaczkowski does not even suspect how it will change his life.
Lost Transport
In the spring of 1945 a train deporting hundreds of Jewish prisoners gets stranded near a small German village occupied by the Red Army. Condemned to each other and in a context of deep mistrust, desperation and revenge, an unexpected friendship emerges between Russian sniper Vera, village girl Winnie and Jewish-Dutch woman Simone.
