Un vieil autocar s'arrête en plein désert du Neguev en Israel. Une troupe de jeunes comédiens en descend et se prépare à représenter les épisodes marquants des sept derniers jours de la vie du Christ…
« An unrecognised masterpiece, an unsurpassed cinematic counterpoint to all the laudatory films documenting the life of Christ made over the years. » (GraffitiWithPunctuation.com)
« Une vision grunge et hippie à la fois marrante et sympathique. » (Ciné Chronicle)
« Jewison, a director of large talent, has taken a piece of commercial shlock and turned it into a biblical movie with dignity. » (Roger Ebert)
« Most notable moments are the garden of Gethsemane scene, where Jewison cuts in leering Pharisees and crucifixion details from Flemish masters to supremely kitschy effect, and the scene of Christ being flogged, shot in sadistic slow motion. » (Time Out Film Guide)
