Film Notes
A life of Christ on an epic scale, shot on location in Italy and Egypt. Earthly civilisations are diminished by the new religion, as when we see the living Christ meditating on God’s heavenly power before the monumental ruins of an Egyptian temple complex. Along the way, you can spot beautiful renditions in movement of celebrated religious paintings by Leonardo di Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo and many others.
