Movie Reviews of Barabbas
Movie Review: Underviewed Epic
Summary: 4 Stars
Anthony Quinn is interesting to watch at any time. His roles are as diverse as the world, and as great as his performances as Zapata's brother, Zorba the Greek, or Barabbas the thief who was spared by the mob when Jesus was crucified.
Barabbas is a literate epic based upon a novel by Par Lagerkvist (Nobel prize winner for Literature). Its hero struggles with real issues. It is a searching lifetime self-examination by a man obsessed by guilt and a need he hardly understands. What has happened to him? A fluke, a rare stroke of fortune, and then, questions flood in, unbidden thoughts, a terrifying rush of new ideas and deep change.
Well worth a look. No CGI here, Ridley Scott it's not, it's the real deal. Stay with it, listen, be amazed, be really amazed.
Summary of Barabbas
Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 08/31/2004 Starring: Antony Quinn Run time: 137 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Richard FleischerStarring Anthony Quinn in the title role, Barabbas was released in 1961 in the midst of a wave of widescreen epics based on biblical characters. The screenplay, by playwright Christopher Fry (who also contributed to Ben-Hur), is an unusually intelligent one. Further assets are the imaginative, sparingly orchestrated score by Mario Nascimbene and a handsome production design by art director Mario Chiari that is so rewarding to the eye in Aldo Tonti's often dazzling cinematography.
Many scenes, such as Christ's crucifixion, are shot and staged like tableaux in a style reminiscent of the great masters of art. And director Richard Fleischer surpasses anything Ridley Scott achieved years later in Gladiator: he fills the huge arena--a vast Roman amphitheatre--with a gladiatorial school of hand-to-hand combat, a parade of elephants, and a den of lions, and then caps his production with a riveting and thrillingly mounted duel between Jack Palance, careering round the circumference of the arena in his chariot, and Barabbas dodging him on foot. --Adrian Edwards
