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.

    Jesus of Nazareth

    Although not 100% biblically accurate, it's about the closest depiction of the life of Christ you can find on film. Worth the watch at least.

    The best Jesus film!

    This is, perhaps, the best Jesus film I have ever seen, and I have seen, I think, all there is to see of Jesus films.

    The film is as accurate comparing it to the Bible. Some films take licence and leave little to the imagination. Its quite an inspirational film and one could see this again just to see how much Jesus did to show he loved us.

    If you have never seen this film, get up of your seat and start ordering.

    Some viewers may feel quite emotional after viewing this great epic.
