judea

His epic *The Last Temptation of Christ* (directed by Martin Scorsese - correction: Lean's *Lawrence of Arabia*) actually, his *A Passage to India* explores colonial encounters, but for Judea specifically, his historical epics demonstrate mastery of ancient settings and spiritual conflict.

Directed *The Passion of the Christ*, a visceral, historically-grounded immersion in first-century Judea and the final hours of Jesus with meticulous attention to authentic language and landscape.
