The Last Temptation of Christ ?

[Canada]

Does Criterion still own the rights to it?

Don't know, but I sure hope they do. Their DVD release was not only a beautiful transfer, but a very respectful release to an extremely controversial film.

I think it still is. I hope this makes it's way to Blu soon. It's my favorite Scorsese and one of my favorite films of all time.

Amen to that (no pun intended).

I always say that I get crucified when I say it's Scorsese's best. The pun actually wasn't intended the first time!

Haha, that's a good one. I loved the Kazantzakis book but always felt that the film didn't do it justice. If I never read the book maybe I'd enjoy the movie more. I just never warmed up to Defoe or Keitel in those roles, and Scorsese at the time was pretty messed up personally and professionally. I would much rather see Kundun or Mean Streets on BD.
