Product Description

Product Description

Broadcast at Easter 2008 on BBC One, The Passion re-tells the last week of Jesus' life, putting the viewer at the heart of the action with the story being told from three different viewpoints: the religious authorities, the Romans and Jesus. Compelling, visually arresting drama of the greatest story ever told...

5.0 out of 5 starsBest version yet of this story
By C. J. Hendry on 17 Oct. 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This series is not flawless by any means, but it earns top marks from me for being a compelling, grown-up and moving piece of drama of the kind we get only (alas) sporadically from the BBC these days. As a revisit to 'the greatest story ever told' it succeeds in its stated intention to bring the drama of Jesus's last days powerfully to life. I'm not a believer, but this series found the right mixture between originality and orthodoxy.

One particularly impressive new idea is the way that Judas is presented not just sympathetically (that's scarcely new anyway - Scorcese's Last Temptation of Christ being a notable example) but as a young, naive individual who is torn between two opposing father figures: Jesus, and Caiaphas the high priest. Caiaphas himself - played by the totally convincing Ben Daniels - is not exactly sympathetic, but we can at least understand his reasons for wanting Jesus dead. He is far from the monstrous caricature of Mel Gibson's film, and his complex characterisation is one of the reasons that this series has so much more depth.

Ultimately, the actual Passion itself is more moving too - despite being considerably less gory. If anything, the flogging is underplayed in this version, and the crown of thorns is positively weedy. But the crucifixion sequence is by far the most harrowing I've seen, and for an interesting reason. We really care about Jesus by this time, so we don't have to see every detail of his pain in vivid close-up in order to feel it, and be rightly moved. Penelope Wilton's turn as Mary is particularly powerful, and the script frequently reinvents the famous verses so as to emphasise their actual meaning. I'm sure that would irk some true believers, but as drama it is an excellent idea.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsPassionate BBC reply to Mel Gibson
By C HARLE on 14 Sept. 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I love the DVD, especially the Christ. He is indeed human, a very likeable chap whom I'd gladly lend an ear to. A strange twist at the resurrection almost put me off when two other actors played Christ, but when the 'real Christ' then appeared, I understood that this was done to correspond with the Bible account that His followers couldn't identify Him until He revealed Himself.
I rate the 6 DVD's I have on Jesus in this order:
1) The Passion (BBC)
2) The Miracle Maker (model clay, but not only for kids)
3) The Passion of the Christ (Mel Gibson)
4) Jesus of Nazareth (Zeffirelli)
5) The Gospel according to St Matthew (Pier Paolo Pasolini)
6) The Greatest Story ever told (George Stevens production)
Of course for the most correct story buy a copy of the Bible and read it. Why not try The Clear Word paraphrase if you can't wade through thees and thous.

5.0 out of 5 starsExtraordinarily moving
By Janet on 25 May 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I have seen all of the "Jesus movies" there are to see, and this is by far the most compelling and moving when it comes to portraying his suffering and death, as well as the complexity of the situation that led to it. Unlike Gibson's exaggerated and monotonous slasher flick, the violence done to this Jesus is never allowed to take center stage or to obscure the actual moment-by-moment struggle he must have undergone to keep loving and obeying under increasingly terrifying and agonizing circumstances. Here is a Lord who is truly bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh: weak, vulnerable, afraid and yet strong in all the right ways. Joseph Mawle is magnificent; he's no Hollywood hunk, yet he is manly and atrractive the way that Jesus himself must have been---natural, ordinary, authoritative: someone worth living and dying for. Gibson's grotesque Passion Play left me completely unmoved; the violence wasn't "senseless" as much as it was "nonsense." His Jesus struck me as oddly uninspiring; I couldn't imagine him doing much else besides moaning and groaning. But here Jesus is taken into the darkness of his Passion in the midst of his vital ministry; I could feel the tension and was drawn into the story like never before. As another reviewer has said, we really CARE about this man by the time we see his suffering, and so the Passion scenes are intensely moving without forcing us to drown in a bloodbath. It is pointedly obvious, too, that this Jesus is filled with the Spirit of God and enjoys that unique intimacy with God that Christians recognize as "divinity," without it being the "weird-creepy-alien" stuff of most Jesus movies. There are some incredibly creative scenes that lend new insights; the scene with the prostitutes and the central scene with Mary, his mother, are two examples.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsa BBC masterpiece
By Red Rose on 10 Sept. 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Given the subject material and given the countless previous versions of the same, this had to be spectacularly good, and it is !

It is passover week and thousands of pilgrims pour into Jerusalem. For their Roman master, Pontius Pilate (James Nesbitt) and High Priest Caiaphas (Ben Daniels) this is a difficult time of year with heavy pressure to maintain cival order. Rumours start that Jesus (Joseph Mawle) is approaching the city from the east. Is this the coming of the Messiah??

This really is the BBC at its best. A classical piece of historic drama. Super location filming, excellant dramatised story line and barnstorming performances from the three principles.

The scene in which Pilate, Ciaphas and Jesus meet to discuss the latter's fate is unforgettable.

2.0 out of 5 starsA very poor attempt

A poor imitation of the passion of the Christ and is biblically inaccurate. Seems to be based more on preconceived ideas than on any religious research. Highly flawed.
