is a 1923 German silent religious epic film directed by Robert Wiene and starring Gregori Chmara, Henny Porten, and Asta Nielsen.
It was reissued in 1933 in the United States with an added music track and narration as Crown of Thorns.
Judas is portrayed as a social revolutionary who wants Jesus to become the leader of a Jewish uprising against the Roman army of occupation.
Judas' eventual betrayal of Jesus is swayed by political disillusionment rather than money.
However, the modern scenes provoked opposition from the censors, and the film was generally shown without them.
