“Almost the whole span of Jesus' life is set aside so that the film can remain with his arrest, trial, scourging, and crucifixion. Its relentless attention to physical suffering makes the Passion itself the subject rather than the conclusion of a larger biography, giving it a place that a conventional life-of-Christ film cannot replace.”
