I like Scorseses jesus movie Last Temptation of Christ (1988), which I understand had some mixed reception

Controversy

Terrorist attack

Main article: Saint-Michel cinema attack

On October 22, 1988, an Integralist Catholic group set fire to the Saint Michel cinema in Paris while it was showing the film. Shortly after midnight, an incendiary device ignited under a seat in the less supervised underground room, where a different film was being shown. The incendiary device consisted of a charge of potassium chlorate, triggered by a vial containing sulphuric acid. The attack injured thirteen people, four of whom were severely burned, and severely damaged the cinema.
