Deepen your journey into the unforgettable film, The Passion of The Christ. In this authorized, behind-the-scenes look at the movie, Fr. John Bartunek, L.C., provides biblical, historical, and theological insights gleaned from hours spent on the set and interviews with the director, actors, and filmmaking crew. Inside the Passion is the most complete and thorough commentary on the movie you will read.
“For weeks I accompanied Mel Gibson, watching him work with the editors, the composer, the promotions team, and the press. I asked him questions about the film that no one else asked, discovering reasons behind some of the innumerable artistic choices that he was forced to make, choices that turned this small art house project into an international blockbuster.”
Like any great work of art, this film transcends mere explanations, even those of the artist himself. But well-chosen explanations of the context and the artist’s intent provided by Fr. Bartunek effectively turn this emotionally-stimulating, aesthetic experience into a powerful spiritual encounter.
