- BARBARA NICOLOSI
There has been a lot of press recently about the upcoming movie "The Passion", from director Mel Gibson. Focusing on the last twelve hours of Jesus life, the film is already inspiring a spate of commentary on the canon of Jesus movies. Smugly devoted to Franco Zeffirellis "Jesus of Nazareth", Ill watch Gibsons production with folded visual arms.
