Secondo Ponzio Pilato (1988)

"Secondo Ponzio Pilato" is an Italian drama that retells the biblical trial of Christ through an irreverent 1970s lens. The film mixes period spectacle with the provocative streak that defined so much of that decade's Italian cinema. Stefania Sandrelli appears in the cast, lending real credibility to this obscure corner of religious-themed filmmaking. The archive holds one scene clip from the film, and it counts. It catches Sandrelli in a nude appearance, brief but unmistakable. For anyone charting her run through daring 1970s roles, this one belongs on the list.
