Jesus of Nazareth

Directed by Franco Zeffirelli

Despite identifying as an unbeliever from the age of 16, Anthony Burgess could not avoid addressing religion in his writing. Scripted by Burgess for Franco Zeffirelli, Jesus of Nazareth was controversial in its time for its portrayal of Jesus as an ordinary and fallible man. Robert Powell’s nuanced performance retains the power to move, whatever your beliefs.
