Christian mythology

His *The Gospel According to St. Matthew* is a raw, neorealist interpretation of Christian scripture that challenges conventional religious cinema.

His films like *Vampyr* and *Ordet* explore faith, spirituality, and Christian miracles through metaphysical and deeply humanistic lenses.

His works including *The Last Temptation of Christ* and *Silence* persistently interrogate Christian faith, doubt, and redemption through complex psychological narratives.
