a trip

The photography and the close ups are the main virtues of this film who more reminds techniques and great actors of the period than gives a new note. A gallery of biblical scenes. Its interesting aspect - the political frame. The surprise - absence of Resurrection. Sure, many premises to be only a part of film front to us but it preserves the tension, the elegance of story, the fair acting and that special emotion behind an old movie. A sort of trip in time. Decent, seductive touching.
