The Passion of the Christ, Mel Gibson’s Academy Award-nominated depiction of the final twelve hours of Jesus Christ’s life, on DVD from MGM/Icon. Jim Caviezel gives a striking central performance in a film shot with genuine ambition — dialogue entirely in Aramaic and Latin with English subtitles, and cinematography that earned it plenty of critical praise on release.

Whatever your view on the film’s content, there’s no denying the craft behind it, and it remains one of the most talked-about religious films ever made.

Widescreen 2.35:1, Dolby Digital and DTS soundtrack options, roughly two hours runtime. Case and disc are in good condition, disc plays cleanly. Rated 18.

Three reasons to pick this one up: it’s a genuinely well-made, visually striking piece of filmmaking regardless of your personal beliefs, Jim Caviezel’s performance is widely regarded as one of the standout portrayals of the role on film, and it’s become something of a modern classic that still gets discussed and referenced today.
