I'm surprised that almost everyone agrees that this is the greatest movie about Jesus Christ's life. I've seen the wonderful Pasolini's Il Vangelo Secondo Matteo and the very good Rossellini's Messia, and this Zeffirelli "masterpiece" really can't compare to any of these two. Anyway, this is one out of two or three Zeffirelli films I can watch, the rest to me is trash, including Fratello Sole Sorella Luna. 6/10.
