	Journal of Religion and Film: Jesus in Film: Hollywood Perspectives on the Jewishness of Jesus by Adele Reinhartz
		Jesus was a prophet engaged in radical social criticism expressed through his opposition to the Temple-centred purity-obsessed society and through his practice of inclusive table fellowship.
		Jesus called Israel away from the rules of Deuteronomy which had been only a temporary phase in God’s purposes, and he acted out against the Temple which was the symbol of Judaism’s violent nationalism.
		Films whose main purpose is psychological, allegorical or analogical tend not to focus on the ethnic or religious specificity of Jesus and hence his Jewishness is similarly eclipsed.

	"Jesus of Nazareth" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		One of the most important criteria in any Jesus film, that either makes or breaks the film for me, is the portrayal of Jesus.
		Released back in 1977, Jesus of Nazareth is perhaps the most detailed depiction of the life of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that has ever been filmed.
		The film shows many of Christ's miracles, but some of the more known events and miracles (temptation in the desert, water into wine) have been omitted.

		Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Jesus' body is taken down off the cross and laid on the floor, one of his eyes blinks slightly.
		Also this film is a personal view of Zeffirelli, who presents a Christ very human, although sometimes in mystical ecstasy but probably like must be a man who thinks that is a God.
		In this film there is philosophical conversation, in Pasolini only there a translation of "evangelio secondi di mateo" texts, like says the title.

	Jesus of Nazareth (1977)
		Following a device first seen in the silent Jesus film From the Manger to the Cross, angels and heavenly voices are perceived by the characters but not by the audience, avoiding the pitfalls of attempting directly to depict transcendent reality.
		Later, at Jesus’s baptism, the film errs in the opposite direction: In an effort to avoid depicting a voice from heaven, it is John himself who acclaims Jesus God’s son.
		The film’s most troubling feature may be its total exoneration of Judas, who is an innocent dupe rather than a traitor and never even asks for money (the thirty pieces of silver are handed to him as an afterthought, after Jesus is in custody).

		Another privilege of the film is that was acceptable and understood by everyone, it's a film for everybody no matter one was a believer or a non believer, was a Muslim or a Buddhist.

	Jesus of Nazareth -- an Arts and Faith Spiritually Significant Film™
		Like the Bible itself, Franco Zeffirelli’s epic, ambitious made-for-television Jesus of Nazareth is often experienced in bits and pieces over the years, and is commonly better known in isolated parts than in its lengthy whole.
		Viewed as a whole, Jesus of Nazareth may or may not be the best life of Jesus film ever made, but it remains in some ways the standard by which other Jesus films are judged.
		Pasolini’s The Gospel According to St. Matthew and Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ may be better films, but no other Jesus film offers an interpretation of the gospel story as comprehensive and definitive as Jesus of Nazareth.

		Throughout, however, the landmark events in Jesus' life as relayed in Scripture are similarly detailed, and that so much significant retelling of much of Christ's life is told so extensively makes this telepic an incredible encyclopedia of relevant historic information.
		Far more than an entertainment piece, "Jesus of Nazareth" truly is the definitive work on the life and times of the historic and Scriptural figure.
		The only bad think I heard about this film, was my old youth pastor said Jesus was depicted as too much of a zombie, with not enough expression...that is aruable; however, it still does no harm to this wonderful masterpiece of the life of Jesus on film.

		This man looks as if he were born to play Jesus, from the physical features to the very heart and soul of the Son of Man. He manages to combine the elements of his peers who attempted the role, and you don't see the actor....you see Jesus Christ.

	Jesus of Nazareth
		A particular stand-out in this production is Olivia Hussey, who plays Mary of Nazareth with touching delicacy and evident spirituality, displaying her own extraordinary natural beauty without self-consciousness.
		Robert Powell (Jesus) also makes it possible on more than a few occasions to perceive him as Christ (for the first time, the Lord's Prayer isn't rattled off).
		The film is lacking in forward momentum and urgency, as one might expect from such a sprawling adaptation.

	Jesus of Nazareth
		It is a difficult story to film, since it touches deep beliefs and raw emotions in the audience that demand special handling by the storyteller.
		The film follows the life of Jesus from Mary’s (Olivia Hussey) conception to his crucifixion and resurrection, and depicts almost all the defining events and great parables and speeches in the gospels, while adding social and political context from Burgess’ scholarly research.
		I saw occasional small blemishes and scratches in parts of the film, it’s a pity they couldn’t have gotten a cleaner original for the capture or remastered it, although true to its digital format, it is far sharper and clearer than the original TV presentation.
