Jesus of Nazareth (1977)

IMDB


"It took centuries to build this temple. Do you think you can build it again in three days?"

And so, on Easter Sunday, an undeniably Easter film. And a reverent one, a beautifully-shot one, a moving one. Yes, it's an account of the gospels, but there's a world of difference from Mel Gibson's attempt. I mean honestly, watch both and tell me which teaches more, reveals more, inspires more? And which is plainly anti-semitic claptrap?
