virgin birth mythology

His film 'The Gospel According to St. Matthew' presents a raw, humanistic interpretation of Christ's virgin birth within a neorealist framework that questions religious mythology.

Through films like 'The Last Temptation of Christ,' he explores the tension between divine mythology and human reality, interrogating the virgin birth narrative's theological and cultural dimensions.

His metaphysical cinema, particularly in films like 'The Mirror,' deconstructs religious mythology and the nature of immaculate conception through dreamlike, philosophical imagery.
