Jeg så Jesus dø (1975 - Ib Fyrsting, Carl Nielsen)
This is a weird one. The Gospel According to Danish pornographers. Statements from Jesus related to sex is (porno)graphically elaborated. Note that there is no blasphemy here. The scenes featuring Jesus are straightforward interpretations of the text and the sex is edited in as illustration.
This is extreme low budget. A narrator reads all the dialog, the disciples are clad in blankets and modern day interiors are painted with coal to make it look more rustic.
One can wonder what the intention behind this venture was. An effort to legitimate early hardcore porn by associating itself with this subject matter is one possibility. A dodgy strategy that easily could misfire, but could possibly work in Denmark in the mid 70thies (and only then and there). But more likely it’s just a piece of exploitation based on a “defendable” provocation.
Viewed on a file downloaded at Cinemageddon. The picture quality is watchable and the sound is Danish with English subtitles.
