Masterpiece of Television Filmmaking

Many have allready noted the positive elements of this movie and I am only reverberating their comments. This movie is a masterpiece. In my opinion no actor has portrayed Christ as human and mystical as Robert Powell. He gave a trully sublime performance. Although this role may have type casted him in the states, he still had a very fruitful career.

The Casting was exceptional, and although this is made for TV miniseries, it still holds up after all these years for many reasons. Anne Bancroft's portrayal of Mary Magdalane was also very inspirational. One of the strengths of this production was it's minimalism. The soundtrack and main theme were great and memorable as well.

The only negative I would give on this DVD production is that it was not re-mastered. The copy on this DVD appears to have scratches that have transferred from the film itself and color balance could be better.
Perhaps the real studio master is lost, who knows, but I suggest they uncover it and completely re-master the video. Also, there are no extras. It would be great to have an interview with Robert Powell and perhaps other actors from the movie.

Jesus Of Nazareth

This movie is so well done. That it makes a person believe they are actually watching the real Jesus. Robert Powell gave an excellent performance. Some of the details weren't quite how the Bible described the situation. But, the point still gets across. I would highly recommend this movie for all ages.

Awe-Inspiring!

I am a "Jesus Movie Junkie" and have watched ALL of them time and time again. But there are three that I watch more than all of the others combined:

Jesus Christ Superstar - I admit that I watch this one for the music and to get to stare at Ted Neeley.

The Passion of The Christ - a brutal reminder of His sacrifice. Jim Caviezel should have won an award for this film!

Jesus of Nazareth - THE ultimate movie on the life of Christ. Robert Powell takes my breath away! The subtleties in his portrayal, the peace, love, understanding and acceptance in his eyes. He alone makes this movie the absolute BEST of the Best.

The Best Movie About Jesus EVER!

In my opinion, this is one of the greatest movies of all time, and by far the best movie about the life and death of Jesus ever made. It boasts an all star cast of some of the greatest actors imaginable, and it is not only quite moving but also very extremely accurate when compared to the Bible. I love this movie, and it is a tradition at my house to watch it and celebrate its message each Easter. Truly 5 stars.

The Platinum Standard for Religious Movies

This film has it all. It is absolutely splendid and uplifting. Great care has been taken with the biblical verses and with period costuming, as well as geographical setting. Though filmed in Tunisia and Morocco, the landscape and buildings in this movie are consistent with first century CE Judea. The chracters are wonderfully type-cast, and the cinematography is excellent. It does not completely follow Scripture, and a few fictional characters do appear-- for example the sinister scribe Zerah-- but my only complaint about it is that the unnamed woman who washed the feet of Jesus with her tears is, per tradition, depicted erroneously as Mary Magdalen. However, this is a small quibble for the absolutely best cinematic life of Jesus filmed so far, and one well worth buying for the family or church film library. You might think that in this film, Robert Powell was actually divinely inspired in his portrayal of Jesus. It's that good a performance.
