Toledo, Spain.

Borrowed the title from the novel, “The Last Temptation of Christ” by Nikos Kazantzakis.

The Last Temptation created controversy as soon as it was published in 1951. The Vatican put it on their Index of Forbidden Books, and the Greek Orthodox Church excommunicated the author. When the novel was turned into a movie in 1988 by Martin Scorsese, a number of countries banned it from being shown and there were protests worldwide at screenings.
For N. Kazantzakis, Jesus was both truly man and truly God. While free from sin, was still subject to every form of temptation that humans face, including fear, doubt, depression, reluctance, and lust. Kazantzakis argues in the novel's preface that by facing and conquering all of man's weaknesses, Jesus struggled to do God's will, without ever giving in to the temptations of the flesh.

Wow! What a cool story! I wonder why they banned it? It's not like he ever gave into sin in the book (from what I understand at least...)

Smashing good fun, I always say,
Letting a book whisk you away,
To adventures in strange new lands,
Whereabouts to you I'll convey.

About the book, things were different back in 1951. About the movie, there’s no excuse!

Sponges grow in the ocean. That just kills me. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be if that didn't happen.
