 Barabbas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Christian narrative of the Passion of Jesus, Barabbas, according to some texts Jesus bar-Abbas, (Aramaic Bar-abbâ, "son of the father"), was the insurrectionary whom Pontius Pilate freed at the Passover feast in Jerusalem.
Some scholars posit that Barabbas was a member of the sicarii, a militant Jewish movement that sought to overthrow the Roman occupiers of their land by force, noting that Mark (15:7) mentions that he had committed murder in an insurrection.

 The Film Journal...Passionate and informed film criticism from an auteurist perspective.
Barabbas (1962), one of the most impressive films directed by Richard Fleischer, was adapted from Nobel Prize winner Par Lagerkvist’s 1950 novel, which had already been the basis of a good 1953 film by the Swedish director Alf Sjoberg.
Barabbas himself (Anthony Quinn), the story’s central consciousness, is outside of this historical narrative because of his internal struggle: he is rendered essentially an observer, a figure who witnesses the truth of Christ’s divinity and exposes the viewer to his philosophical attempts to explain away or to understand.
Later in the film, during the first gladiator match, the execution of one anonymous gladiator at the hands of another is filmed in long shot, but without cuts—dynamism is sacrificed for a frightening combination of explicitness and distance.

Starring Anthony Quinn in the title role Barabbas was released in 1961 in the midst of a wave of widescreen epics based on Biblical characters.

(It occurred at the point where Barabbas emerges from a 20 years exile in the sulphur mines in Sicily, allowing the audience to dwell on his recuperation before we next encounter him.

 Needcoffee.com DVD Review: Barabbas (1962)
This film shows the end of that, but really picks up as Barabbas is leaving, wonderingly, from the building he had thought would be the last he ever saw.
For example, there is a beautiful shot, early in the film, where Barabbas turns and looks back at the judicial building and sees the condemned Jesus standing, hands bound, with the sunlight at his head.
Be aware that this film is very serious and lacks much in the way of relief; it is, however, very engaging and worth the time and angst it will cause.
