- Synopsis:
Directed by a true genius of early cinema, Cecil B. DeMille's The King of Kings is both a sincere and major work of religious devotion and an epic milestone in cinema history.First premiered in 1927, the film follows the life of Jesus Christ from the conversion of Mary Magdalene through the Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension. Inspired by the works of the great Classical artists, DeMille composes each scene with breathtaking skill, while emphasising and celebrating the gentleness and dignity of Christ. At His triumphant resurrection, this black and white film suddenly bursts into colour - a truly stunning cinematic device portraying a world redeemed. A work of timeless passion and beauty, The King of Kings still has the power to move and inspire. - Actors:
