Sacredness and its enemies: holy and secularized women in The Gospel according to Saint Matthew by Pier Paolo Pasolini and in the Spain of development (1965)

Abstract

The Gospel according to St. Matthew’s interior artistic world makes it possible not only to reflect upon its content and evaluation by Spanish censorship, film critics, public and, society with an overall view, but it also represents an useful socio-cultural element for valuing, according to Pasolini’s philosophical Marxist heterodox insight, the change of women’s role during Spain’s the economic development and the concomitant desacralization and secularization.
