This is a remarkable movie. Whether all the events are true or not no one knows. But this is an EPIC picture. It PULLS you in. You need to follow each and every scene. The photography is beautiful, predicated upon many great paintings of art history. The music is dramatic and meaningful. In many ways this is a superior remake of THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD, with Max Von Sydow as the Christ, but SO, SO much better.

Very disappointing. You would think director Franco Zeffirelli and his cast of many gifted actors and actresses could stay true to the real story. What starts off decent enough transforms into six hours of very liberal interpretation. Why toil to the actual locations without honoring the documented details? For those who will never open the bible to read the story for themselves, this will only confuse anyone who is earnestly trying to learn anything about the greatest story ever told. They should have ... Read More

Jesus of Nazareth is best movie production of the life of Christ that I have ever seen. The DVD arrived on time and in good condition.

This movie has all the scripture and history you can ask for.
The characters--especially the one playing Jesus--are done well.
I watched it when I was very young and still enjoy watching it 35 years
later.

Editorial Review:
Product Description:
A REVERENT DEPICTION OF THE LIFE OF CHRIST USING THE GOSPEL ACCOUNTS.
Amazon.com essential video:
Originally made for TV in 1977, this in-depth (six hours plus) version of Jesus' life is so thorough that the first hour is devoted solely to the story of his birth. The film doesn't skimp on some of the other landmark events of this famous story either. Director Franco Zeffirelli gives more than 12 minutes screen time each to the Last Supper and the Crucifixion. Passages of the Bible are quoted verbatim, the locations have a Palestine-like authenticity, and, aside from some of the principals (Robert Powell as Jesus, Olivia Hussey as Mary, and Stacy Keach as Barabbas), many of the non-Roman characters are actually played by Semitic-looking actors. Zeffirelli diligently provides the sociopolitical background that gave rise to Jesus' following and the crisis in belief it caused for the people of Israel (and one or two Romans). While not graphic by today's standards, some of the scenes--baby boys being ripped from their mothers' arms and slaughtered, nails being driven into Jesus' hands--may disturb young and/or sensitive children. --Kimberly Heinrichs
