The Times Interview with Irazoqui
As is probably fairly obvious, I'm studying Matthew's gospel at the moment so apologies to any regular readers who don't have much interest in that.Anyway, I just came across a 2004 article from The Times (London) about Enrique Irazoqui, about his experiences playing Jesus in Pasolini's version of Matthew, Il Vangelo Secondo Matteo. It tells a few interesting stories and it's interesting, if not surprising, how much Pasolini's attitude to his Jesus actor contrasts with that of other Jesus film directors, DeMille in particular.
There's also a bit more on Irazoqui's life after the film here, including a number of links.

Ah, thanks for this! I'm always interested in background information and documentation on "Il Vangelo". And I'm not bothered by your focus on Matthew one bit! I love Matthew and these two films, so this is actually quite a treat! :)
