Lucien Nonguet & Ferdinand Zecca - La vie et la passion de Jésus Christ aka Life and Passion of Jesus Christ (1903 - 1907)

Description: Decent telling of the story of Jesus from his birth up to the resurrection. This early French feature is full of wonderful imagination and the use of color is a real added bonus. The visual are all very nice and the set decoration is among the best I've seen in any silent film of its era. The biggest problem is that the feature runs just over 40-minutes and it seems like a bunch of short films edited together. There's really no consistent storytelling but instead just various segments from the Bible.
