Movie Review: Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)

21 October 2008 6:45 PM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

Photo: MGM Home Entertainment Watching Hannah and Her Sisters is something of a revelatory experience for the viewer. The film is presented in a series of episodic vignettes centering on one idea after another, introducing you to a variety of characters and exploring a varying level of emotions primarily centered on the idea of love, the need to be loved and love ultimately becoming a reason for existence.

The Last Temptation Of Christ (1988) Nikos Kazantzakis' novel was a lightning rod of controversy from its 1951 publication, and anyone attempting to adapt it to film could only assume that trouble would follow. That didn't dissuade Martin Scorsese, however. Attracted to its psychologically complex depiction of an oft-tormented Jesus, Scorsese optioned the book in the 1970s and struggled to film it for years, even seeing one attempt shut down shortly before shooting began. When he finally finished the film, protests from conservative Catholics and Christian fundamentalists followed. Most never saw the film; they judged it from reports of a final sequence in which Willem Dafoe's dying Christ entertains the temptation to abandon His divinity and live a normal human life, even making love with Mary Magdalene (Barbara Hershey).
