Location Hunting in Palestine

1965Movie

In 1963, accompanied by a newsreel photographer and a Catholic priest, Piero Paolo Pasolini traveled to Palestine to investigate the possibility of filming his biblical epic The Gospel According to Matthew in its approximate historical locations. Edited by The Gospel‘s producer for potential funders and distributors, Seeking Locations in Palestine features semi-improvised commentary from Pasolini as its only soundtrack. As we travel from village to village, we listen to Pasolini’s idiosyncratic musings on the teachings of Christ and witness his increasing disappointment with the people and landscapes he sees before him. Israel, he laments, is much too modern. The Palestinians, much too wretched; it would be impossible to believe the teachings of Jesus had reached these faces. The Gospel According to Matthew was ultimately filmed in Southern Italy. Mel Gibson would use some of the same locations forty years later for The Passion of the Christ.

50 cues

#100:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,074
Who are the real-world Illuminati ? Find out @ saveanilluminati.com
#200:00:13,060 --> 00:00:21,530
- A VISIT TO PALESTINE -
#300:00:24,820 --> 00:00:27,610
Look at that panorama! What luck.
#400:00:27,860 --> 00:00:31,560
I think we're about 50 km from Tel Aviv.
#500:00:31,740 --> 00:00:35,810
All morning we had been driving through countryside like Italy's...
#600:00:35,940 --> 00:00:39,560
...very modern, industrialised, then, out of nowhere, this vision.
#700:00:41,540 --> 00:00:46,610
This is, after all, what I was hoping to find.
#800:00:46,860 --> 00:00:48,290
A biblical world, archaic.
#900:00:48,380 --> 00:00:51,650
St. John the Baptist referred to this scene in the Jordan...
#1000:00:51,780 --> 00:00:55,010
...when preaching, he rebukes the Scribes and the Pharisees...
#1100:00:55,180 --> 00:00:59,050
...who come to him; and reminds them of their responsibility.
#1200:00:59,220 --> 00:01:03,730
"He will clear his threshing floor, and gather his wheat into the granary;..."
#1300:01:03,900 --> 00:01:07,330
"...but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire".
#1400:01:07,500 --> 00:01:08,770
This is that scene.
#1500:01:12,860 --> 00:01:15,210
Nearby, is a long, narrow stretch...
#1600:01:15,340 --> 00:01:17,770
...of the border between Israel and Jordan.
#1700:01:18,420 --> 00:01:20,980
And so, although Galilee is still far away...
#1800:01:21,140 --> 00:01:26,000
...Galilee is part of Israel, the Arab world is very close.
#1900:01:26,140 --> 00:01:32,400
And so we find this landscape typical of the archaic Arab world.
#2000:01:33,660 --> 00:01:36,250
This sun and this straw...
#2100:01:36,380 --> 00:01:42,330
...are perfect elements for depicting an evangelic parable.
#2200:01:42,420 --> 00:01:44,930
Nothing would have to be changed here:
#2300:01:45,020 --> 00:01:48,170
...that tent, this heap of wheat...
#2400:01:48,340 --> 00:01:51,810
...the gestures of this old farmer.
#2500:01:52,180 --> 00:01:54,690
This is the Gospel passage...
#2600:01:54,860 --> 00:01:57,610
...that refers to the Mount of Transfiguration, Tabor.
#2700:01:57,700 --> 00:02:01,450
Six days after, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John...
#2800:02:01,540 --> 00:02:04,450
...and led them up a high mountain, by themselves.
#2900:02:09,180 --> 00:02:12,410
To the right, we have Lake Tiberias.
#3000:02:24,900 --> 00:02:29,760
At this point my hopes were still strong.
#3100:02:29,900 --> 00:02:36,050
I thought that Israel, the places where Christ preached...
#3200:02:36,340 --> 00:02:40,770
...could be the perfect setting for my film, without any changes.
#3300:02:44,180 --> 00:02:49,450
But, already at this point I started to suspect...
#3400:02:50,100 --> 00:02:55,370
...that there was something too modern, too industrialised in this landscape.
#3500:02:56,740 --> 00:02:58,450
In fact, in a few minutes...
#3600:02:58,620 --> 00:03:04,050
...as you follow our Fiat's route as it took us towards Nazareth...
#3700:03:04,220 --> 00:03:07,250
...towards the heart of Galilee, towards Lake Tiberias...
#3800:03:07,500 --> 00:03:12,250
...you'll see a landscape contaminated by the present.
#3900:03:13,300 --> 00:03:16,840
The small white working class houses, factories, et cetera.
#4000:03:17,100 --> 00:03:22,770
My hopes had already begun to wane with the realisation...
#4100:03:22,900 --> 00:03:26,290
...that certain things were not totally as I had imagined them...
#4200:03:26,420 --> 00:03:28,370
...for the setting of my film.
#4300:03:31,140 --> 00:03:32,410
Look here.
#4400:03:33,140 --> 00:03:36,210
These are Israeli houses...
#4500:03:36,380 --> 00:03:41,210
...that you could easily find in the Roman countryside or in Switzerland;...
#4600:03:42,660 --> 00:03:46,730
...dominated by the supreme vision of Mount Tabor...
#4700:03:46,860 --> 00:03:49,210
...which is similar to Soratte.
#4800:03:53,660 --> 00:03:57,690
When we arrived on the banks of Lake Tiberias...
#4900:03:57,860 --> 00:03:59,890
...the heat was terrible, inexorable.
#5000:04:01,140 --> 00:04:05,090
And as I will tell you shortly, in person, from the screen...
