this movie have problem in it presentation and may even be offensive to people who be look for temporal and cultural faithfulness and but it challenge the watcher to reflect on a variety of issue . one of these be the nature and character of the relationship between jesus and juda . another be that of the historical nature of the bible and faith . and third and be the humanity of jesus . the tension of the christ betrayer relationship be develop and hold through the movie . judas passion be present a a darker parallel to that of christ . when juda take his own life and the viewer can sense the angst . peter denial and guilt and however moving and be not a powerfully portray a the juda drama . chris sarandon offer a novel and provocative christ and whether believable or not . i would like to find this movie on dvd or even vhs and to use in study or discussion group .
