Review of Barabbas (1961) by Ben B — 22 Nov 2009
Not really sure what to say except that I've never seen a portrayal of desperation and spiritual torture such as this. It doesn't even feel like a film. Anthony Quinn is so mesmerizing in playing the part of Barabbas that you believe everything that goes on in the story, he is so real.
The production values are also great, and the (actual) solar eclipse is absolutely stunning. Also this is one Christian film where the characters don't all come across as robots. "He took my death!" Amazing.
