Film Review
One of Julien Duvivier’s most ambitious and controversial films is this character-based
adaption of the Gospels of the New Testament, which relates the last few days of Jesus
Christ. Lacking the excessive grandeur and pretensions of subsequent productions
(particularly those originating from Hollywood), Duvivier’s Golgotha has a quiet
understated humility which serves its subject well, although a modern cinema audience
will probably find the film unbearably slow and static. The film is perhaps most
impressive for its cast list, which brings together some of the finest screen actors of
its period, including Harry Baur and Jean Gabin.
