Profile of The Gospel of John

The mood of The Gospel of John is atmospheric. The plot centers around corrupt rulers, a miraculous event, and the clergy. It is a drama and historical movie. Stylistically, The Gospel of John is epic. In approach, it is serious. The pacing is slow. The Gospel of John happens in ancient times. It is drawn from a biography and originally a true story.

Summary of The Gospel of John

Directed by Philip Saville (METROLAND), this lavish production adapts the Gospel According to John, the most unique of the four New Testament Gospels. The material is presented so that each and every word of the text is present either in dialogue or narration (provided by Christopher Plummer). Focusing on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus (Henry Ian Cusick), GOSPEL OF JOHN utilizes authentic sets and locales, and the music is played on instruments of the period.

Critics Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle
Surprisingly robust.
The Hollywood Reporter
This well-made epic boasts carefully researched production values and the talents of classically trained actors, but by literally playing it by the book, the picture loses something dramatic in the translation.
