Review of Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1925) by Jose Miguel G — 14 Aug 2018

Fred Niblo directed the first official adaptation of Lew Wallace's iconic best seller, with unique and groundbreaking style and production, considering the time period in which it was crafted, and while as a whole Bible-epic it lacks the beautiful dialogue proper of the genre, its themes and tones, accompanied with beautiful timeless score, just fulfills what it's still, after almost a Century, an impressive piece of filmmaking.
