Movie Reviews of Jesus of Nazareth
Movie Review: A Genuinely Spiritually Powerful Film
Summary: 5 Stars
This is overall the best film of the life of Christ by far. Okay, as a purist I can find a very few nit-picky details of inaccuracy, as well as the not so nit-picky detail that Judas' descent into greed and greed's motivating him to betray Jesus is obscured, if not illiminated. But the fact remains that this film is still extremely faithful to the Scriptures - more so than any other film about Jesus I have seen with the exception of the film "Jesus" (1979) - and even the 1979 Jesus film, which is letter perfect as far as text faithfulness to the Gospel of Luke is concerned, is only slightly more accurate than "Jesus of Nazareth". "Jesus of Nazareth", however, is based on all four books of the Gospel (rather than only one as with the 1979 Jesus film) combines information from the four books in very insightful ways, and above all, does a better job than any film in communicating the spirit of the story as a whole, as well as the spirit of each scene. The cast and crew do an excellent job of developing all the characters, especially the apostles, as real and individual people, not just props for the title role. This results from a combination of superlative acting, directing, and editing. Going beyond the scope of comparing this film to other Biblical epics, it depicts spiritual experience more realistically than any film I have seen. In scenes such as Mary Magdalene's repentence or Peter's repentence after denying Jesus three times, I have never seen a more realistic portrayal of someone repenting and praying through to a definite experience of salvation in any religious film produced by church groups.
This film has actually inspired a greater hunger for Bible study in myself and in others. Every moment, every scene of this film is pregnant with meaning. I would venture to say that "Jesus of Nazareth" is not only a first-rate film; viewing "Jesus of Nazareth", almost in spite of its makers, is a spiritual experience itself. END
