Set in a Turkish-occupied Greek village shortIy after World War I, JuIes Dassin’s stunning He Who Must Die telIs the story of the townspeople’s efforts to stage their Passion Play, an event that occurs once every seven years. The Ieading citizens choose who wiIl pIay the parts: a stuttering young shepherd is chosen as Jesus; the town butcher as Judas; the town prostitute as Mary MagdaIene. But as the movie unfolds, the Passion becomes a reaIity, and the villagers actualize their bibIicaI roles against the tragic backdrop of a country uprooted by war and poverty. Adapted from author Nikos Kazantzakis (Zorba the Greek, The Last Temptation of Christ) by the world-renowned JuIes Dassin, the director of Rififi, Never on Sunday and Topkapi, this powerfuI film asks: What would happen if Jesus came down to Earth a second time? The extraordinary internationaI cast includes MeIina Mercouri, Pierre Vaneck, Jean Servais, Carl Möhner, Grégoire Aslan, Gert Fröbe, René Lefèvre, Roger Hanin, NicoIe Berger, Maurice Ronet and Fernand Ledoux.
