The Life and Passion of Jesus Christ
DramaHistory
The story of Jesus Christ, from the proclamation of His Nativity to His Ascension into heaven. Impressive staging and beautiful hand-coloring distinguish the film from its Passion-play counterparts; Its scale and dynamic crowds prelude the Italian epics to come.
VIBE
A monumental, hand-colored silent film that feels like a sacred tableau brought to life. Its grand scale and devotional focus offer a powerful, if static, glimpse into early cinematic storytelling of biblical events.
