 Brilliant September 9, 2008

Very nice interpretation of the story of Christ's life. The blue eyes of actor Robert Powell is bright, dense and expresses both compassion and suffering borne by the Passion that contributes to the brightness of this beautiful film.
"Jesus of Nazareth" has converted one of my fellow class mate. I recommend it with that of "The Passion of Christ" by Mel Gibson.

 Good compilation of Gospels June 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The story is a compilation of several Gospels and encompases the whole of his life (per documented accounting in the bible). It is an awesome movie - despite the droning musical soundtrack. :)
This Jesus is lovely to look at, but sometimes he seems possessed and dead or wooden rather than peaceful. But, he does do wonderful justice to his peaceful, merciful and loving nature and does display some of his passionate nature.
This was my favorite all time Jesus movie until I saw the Gospel of John of the Visual Bible series which I totally recommend (narrated by Christopher Plummer)- That movie presents a Jesus who was alive, enthusiastic and had fire in him in a 100% accurate account of the Gospel.
Being an Atheist, I still adore this film June 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a child, no TV image comes out as clearly and emotional as Robert Powells eyes and glances during the whole length of his scenes during this production; is truly bewitching and one must admit, Zeffirelli distilled pured genius when designing the character... Jesus is in fact DIVINE.
Overall, I find this -being an Atheist, i've always had a fascination for Christian/religious films- the finest adaptation to what in my eyes, could have been the life of christ. However shot it Morroco and Tunisia, the earth smells of Palestine and the people rick of classical judaism -if one may say such thing-. All in it is remarkably well done. Special grantes given to Olivia Hussey for her likewise divine representation of what in the directors eyes, was the mother of God. The older I become, the more fanatic I turn for this work and the more fascinating I find it each time i see it.
Quite simply, this is the type of film experience that turns unbelievers into zealous fanatics. I recommend this film to ALL desenfranchised atheists and also, Zeffirelli fans would find many features familiar.
A must have.
