"La vie et la passion de Jésus Christ" or "The Life and Passion of Christ" (and there are a handful more titles) is a French silent film from over 110 years and it has an action that is much more important than most of the films from that era because it is about the religious story of the Christ. Lucien Nonguet and Ferdinand Zecca, especially the latter, are both fairly famous and prolific filmmakers from the very early days of silent cinema and this one here is among their more known works for sure, probably because of the topic. I must say I did not find the story too interesting, but then again I am generally not too much into religion-themed films. What I liked the most about this one here, is the use of color which really added a whole lot to this movie and made it actually a decent watch at times. But still, it cannot make up for the not so interesting story and my overall verdict is negative. Not a great choice to start getting into silent films.
