King of Kings

1961, English. Directed by Nicholas Ray.

Of good and evil, of love and hate, of peace and war.

Who is Jesus, and why does he impact all he meets? He is respected and reviled, emulated and accused, beloved, betrayed, and finally crucified. Yet that terrible fate would not be the end of the story.
