The relatively brief 4-minute sequence serves well to set the stage for all that follows, and in context illustrates just how high the stakes are with our enemy and our own sin that requires the Incarnation in the first place. The isolation of the wandering is heightened by this creator's choice to avoid close-ups of Robert Powell until Christ's final rebuke of Satan, dramatically emphasizing the vulnerability our Lord subjected himself to for those 40 days as a microcosm of our own lifetime of temptations. Using a montage of scenes from a surprising variety of other films showcasing aerial views of robe clad wanderers in the desert, combined with an etherial atmospheric soundtrack, the scene is surprisingly well cut into the style of Zeffirelli's pre- and post- scenes. The most audacious and otherwise astounding feature of the Jesus of Nazareth Extended Edition project is the inclusion of a newly crafted original sequence dramatizing the 40 days of temptation in the wilderness (originally filmed by director Zefferelli yet cut ). This could be with no doubt my 'go too' version of Zefirelli's 'Jesus Of Nazareth'. This is obviously a project that jcv has a great passion for,the quality of work and attention to detail reflects this. All additional scenes as best as i could see were seamlessly added, i didn't notice anyaudible defects and the colour hue and brightness correction looked fine ( This was mp4 file watched on a iphone i will update and expand on editing and colour once i have watched the DVD version). jcv has not just reinstated the missing scenes but has incorporated footage from five othersources to make this the most complete and satisfying way to view this epic.

We no longer have to make do with the truncated and edited versions on video,DVD and Blu Ray.Here we have an Extended edit with a running time of 7 hours. Jesus of Nazareth, please find below a few words regarding theįilm.There's always been a bit of a problem when it comes to Jesus of Nazareth.Some DVD sets we Know are cut others claim to be uncut but are not,then there are the versions where the packaging suggest one run time yet the DVD's run less and finally the Blu Ray which most would say was an opportunity wasted.Now thanks to jcv we have the excellent and sweeping account of the life of Christ as Zefirelli intended it to be.
