In the Italian cinema,"Il Cristo Prohibito" is just the opposite of Rossellini's Neo realism,although they have common features: the documentary look at the festivities or a continual questioning about human destiny and why God asks for sacrifice,the massacre of the innocents.
The last word of the movie is why ? ,a word which is repeated a lot of times.The characters of the movie are anything but realistic: all have a strong guilty feeling and all use a recherché vocabulary which contrasts with their personalities (they are humble villagers),with the exception of Antonio (played by Alain Cuny who made his debut in Marcel Carné's "Les Visiteurs Du Soir" and continued his career with extremely intellectual works such as Fellini's).
The movie looks like a parable,some kind of updated Middle Ages mystery,with a Christ whose blood is supposed to wash all the sins away,a Judas,two Mary Magdelene and a hero (played by Raf Vallone)who comes back from a Russian concentration camp to avenge his little brother who was shot because of an informer.It begins and ends with imposing landscapes where the figures look like ants .
