Willem Dafoe on the Last Temptation of Christ Backlash That Turned Antisemitic | Festival Insights

At the Sarajevo Film Festival, Willem Dafoe opened up about the intense reaction to his role as Jesus in Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ. Shockingly, he revealed that the backlash wasn’t just religious—it evolved into antisemitic sentiment directed at Jewish figures in Hollywood, despite many critics not even having seen the film. In this video, we unpack the implications of Dafoe’s reflections, explore how art can ignite unexpected controversies, and ask whether lessons from 1988 still resonate today.
