From popular piety to blockbuster, from musical to social criticism - Jesus Christ has many faces in film history. And the Italian city of Matera has often served as the backdrop for the Holy Land.

Gibson's film and Martin Scorsese's “The Last Temptation of Christ” caused a stir and scandal in 1988 and 2004 respectively. Milo Rau's interpretation also goes beyond the traditional. In “The New Gospel”, the Swiss director links the story of Jesus with current social struggles and presents a revolutionary Christ.

Bob Hoskins makes an unusually genial Professor Challenger, far less of a bully than Doyle's character, but his slightly stereotyped companions are nicely filled out by a solid cast. James Fox is Challenger's more timid but still covertly adventurous rival, Tom Ward is the moustachioed big game hunter who faces an Allosaurus with an elephant gun, and Matthew Rhys plays the tagalong reporter hoping to impress his faithless fiancée.
