Maria di Nazaret

Not the actual story, but a cleaned-up version removing most of the things a modern audience would not wish to know about.

Quite nicely done.

We just saw Mary of Nazareth last evening and it was wonderful! Our church rented the screen for the evening. The experienced was enhanced by our praying the Rosary as an audience prior to the movie beginning. What a shame that a movie like this is not readily available to the public. The portrayal of Mary was done so beautifully - her purity and innocence just shone through! The role of Joseph was realistic and heartfelt. I loved the respect that St. Joseph was shone in this portrayal as protector of his precious family. We loved the portrayal of Mary's relationship with Jesus which is very emotional at times. I have seen so many biblical movies but this one was the most tender, gentle and beautiful witness of our Mother and her Son. I would see this movie again in a heartbeat and would strongly recommend it to all believers.

Wonderful movie! For our family, the author and movie director employed their gifts and talents from the Holy Gospels to create another telling of the "Good News". On a sad note, did anyone notice the beginning of the movie, the husband had to approve the stoning of his unfaithful wife? That's something to ponder. I always wondered why Joseph wanted to break off the marriage proposal in secret. Perhaps to save Mary's life? The staged scenes of the second temple and homes made the movie realistic. All of the actors and actress preformed excellent. Christmas 2013 is just days away. We wish to thank the entire production organization and special gratitude to Netflix for offering us this selection!

The temptation to be very critic about it or to appreciate it very much are the basic traits. Few scenes are more than beautiful. The rhytm is too alert and it represents only a sketch. Paz Vega offers a splendid performance and the short portrait of Pilat of Pont , well acted by Remo Girone is a charming surprise .

Yes, it is a personal perspective about life of the Savior , with few serious licences.

No doubts, the clothes, rooms, atmosphere of first century in the Middle East are just seductive.

And the smile of Alissa Jung in the role of Mother of God or the clothes and jewels of Antonia Liskova as Irodiada are fundamental good points, like the powerful references to religious paintings.

It is a beautiful film. In fact, this is the only matters thing because it has the gift to offer a voice among so many adaptations of the life of Jesus. The perspective of Mother of God about His Son activity, sufferance and death, resurrection and words is not new and the temptation to compare with the work of Pernilla August is not strange.

But it gives more than a formalistic fresco. And this makes it more than interesting.

So, a voice, not bad at whole.

Good day: The Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit, if many churches are correct. The Trinity is a Family-- two Parents and an Offspring, if many churches are correct.In the Book of Job which is part of the bible,the Lord is compared to a father and also a mother with a womb. "From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens"--Job 38:29. What is written in this paragraph (before this sentence) is compatible with Catholic Church doctrine. Saying that the "Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit" is simply another way of saying that the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father and the Son" which has been official Catholic Church teaching for centuries. Of course, The scriptures are vague if the Holy Spirit is the 3rd or 1st or 2nd Person of the Trinity--whichever of these is true,the First Person and the Second Person may be the Parents of the Third.
