Nothing more easy than define it as masterpiece. For the faithfull adaptation of Par Lagerkvist novel. For admirabe performance of. Uf Palme,Inge Waern and Olof Widgren. For Expresionism touch defining scene by scene. Not the less, for message.
Indeed , the love for book is the basic reason to appreciate this film. And the fair solutions for recreate essential dialogues . Not the last, for Alf Sjoberg gift to explore a life in its profound fragility , defined by thirst to believe , the falls, the death of close ones in the name of Son of God and the final mistake who seems put things in order.
Superior to each other adaptation of Barabbas by Lagerkvist, it remains one great films - poem.
