About this product
Product Information
This epic chronicle of Christ begins with the arrangements of the wedding between Joseph and Mary, proceeds through Jesus' birth, his encounter with John the Baptist, and all the way to the grueling, transfigurative end. The all-star cast includes Anne Bancroft, Laurence Olivier, Michael York, James Mason, Rod Steiger, and Robert Powell as Jesus. As the beautiful locations, superb performances, and reverent portrayals reveal, Franco Zeffirelli (OTELLO, HAMLET) directed this six-hour-plus television miniseries with palpable passion.Product Identifiers

Additional InformationBecause director Franco Zeffirelli noted publicly that he intended to depict Jesus Christ as a human being rather than a religious icon, his expensive made-for-TV miniseries JESUS OF NAZARETH fell victim to protestors long before its 1977 debut. Despite the pullout of several sponsors, JESUS OF NAZARETH was aired as scheduled, sweeping the ratings in the process. In avoiding the usual overproduced Hollywood approach to the Gospels, Zeffirelli offers one of the most sensitive and reverent portrayals of Jesus ever seen on film.<BR>In the title role, Robert Powell heads a huge international cast, which includes Olivia Hussey as Mary, Peter Ustinov as Herod the Great, Christopher Plummer as Herod Antipas, Michael York as John the Baptist, Donald Pleasence as Melchior, James Earl Jones as Balthazar, Ian McShane as Judas, Anne Bancroft as Mary Magdalene, Rod Steiger as Pontius Pilate, James Mason as Joseph of Arimathea, Laurence Olivier as Nicodemus, and Ernest Borgnine as the Centurion. Filmed in England, Tunisia, and Morocco, JESUS OF NAZARETH was scripted by Zeffirelli, Anthony Burgess, and Suso Cecchi D'Amico.

A great peaceful man
It is an ensemble piece of actors playing characters who suit the actors’ perspectives. I bought the DVD because Jesus is a saviour on Earth and the son of God and because it is a drama piece, I wonder if my drama coach likes it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Jesus of Nazareth video. AS I said above, very, very good
I think it is the best film on the Life of Jesus ever made. It takes the stories of the Gospels and introduces them into situations that are not exactly when the Bible said they happened but into situations which exactly bring out their full meaning, as for example the story of the prodigal son is told by Jesus in this film at the home of Matthew,(which probably was not the case originally), yet that causes Peter to confess that he is like the older brother of the parable. (Very, very good). Also Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus are shown, while Jesus is being crucified, as saying things which bring out the meaning of the Cross (again, very good) The price of the video is now is very very cheap. Thank you for that! The delivery was very very quick. Thank you for that too!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent DVD
A true reproduction of the much loved tv series of the late 70s. Sticks closely to the Gospels and the acting, particularly of Robert Powell, is of a high standard. A good way to introduce the story of Jesus to the uninitiated.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Highly recommend, amazing film
This film is amazing, its inspiring and i was not bored in any way. The words spoken by Jesus, John the baptist and the apostles are powerful. The film clearly reflects the new testament which i found to be most interesting. yes, obviously there are scenes that reflect the old testament because this film is from birth to the crucifixion. The reason why its parental guidance is because of the crucifixion scene as well as one disturbing scene when soldiers were ordered to kill babies. The film has part 1,2, disc 1 and part 3,4 disc 2. Each part is around 1 hour. Altogether it is 374 mins so its really detailed and not just a 2 hour film. 2 hours would not be enough to describe the birth and crucifixion.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
