Scorsese upsets the religious applecart

On July 16, CineVerse will revisit its current monthly series, Pushing Boundaries: films that challenged the censors and created controversial but important works of cinematic art. Part 5: Sacrilege and scandal. “The Last Temptation of Christ” (1988; 164 minutes), directed by Martin Scorsese.

Note: due to the long runtime of the film, CineVerse will start promptly at 6:45 p.m. and conclude at 10:15 p.m. this evening to allow enough time for discussion.
