Synopsis
Two thousand years of retelling haven't dulled the power of this story to move us. Philip Saville's "The Gospel of John" is a faithful, carefully detailed re-creation of the turbulent era of Jesus and the events that changed the course of history. Unusually, the film follows the text of the Gospel of John word for word, drawn from the Good News Bible, with Christopher Plummer providing narration. Henry Ian Cusick stars as Jesus, in a portrayal that is both commanding and deeply human. Often considered the most beloved and yet most mysterious of the four gospels, John's account covers Jesus' three-year ministry, from his first miracles to his crucifixion and resurrection. Intimate and reflective, it offers a moving opportunity to experience the life and teachings of Jesus as told by one of his closest disciples.
