100 Bible Films
ISBN/GTIN

Product description

From The Passion of the Christ to Life of Brian, and from The Ten Commandments to Last Temptation of Christ, filmmakers have been adapting the stories of the Bible for over 120 years, from the first time the Höritz Passion Play was filmed in the Czech Republic back in 1897. Ever since, these stories have inspired musicals, comedies, sci-fi, surrealist visions and the avant-garde not to mention spawning their own genre, the biblical epic. Filmmakers across six continents and from all kinds of religious perspectives (or none at all), have adapted the greatest stories ever told, delighting some and infuriating others.

100 Bible Films is the indispensable guide to this wide and varied output, providing an authoritative but accessible history of biblical adaptations through one hundred of the most interesting and significant biblical films. Richly illustrated with film stills, this book depicts how such films have undertaken a complex negotiation between art, commerce, entertainment and religion.

Matthew Page traces the screen history of the biblical stories from the very earliest silent passion plays, via the golden ages of the biblical epic, through to more innovative and controversial later films as well as covering significant TV adaptations. He discusses films made not only by some of our greatest filmmakers, artists such as Martin Scorsese, Jean Luc Godard, Alice Guy, Roberto Rossellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Lotte Reiniger, Carl Dreyer and Luis Buñuel, but also those looking to explore their faith or share it with lovers of cinema the world over.

Absolutly emotional!
This book took me through ups and downs. I found myself shaking my head a few times, then take a deep breath and go on reading.

This is not a shitstorm book that is intended to spread rumors. I think Britney talks very reflectively about how she experienced everything back then and how she felt about it.

I can recommend this book to everyone. It doesn't matter if you're a Britney fan or not. Because her story is one that should be heard and read!
As far as book titles are concerned, Jennette McCurdy's memoir surely has one of the most provocative ones. When the actress rose to fame through the Nickelodeon shows iCarly and Sam & Cat, nobody could have imagined the turmoil behind the scenes - her family's financial insecurity, a very strict upbringing, dehumanizing auditions, emotional abuse from her mother, and immense pressure from the show's producer. How do you undo a lifetime of manipulation, and destructive coping mechanisms, and land to stand on your own feet? In I'm Glad My Mom Died, she delves deep into these uncomfortable topics with refreshing frankness and surprisingly dark humor. Every chapter closes with a metaphorical gut punch that makes putting the book down nearly impossible. An infuriating, yet highly captivating read and one of the best memoirs to come out of 2022.
Was für ein Buch!
Es liest sich einfach so weg, hat mir wahnsinnig viel Lust auf's Weiter- und Wiederentdecken der Musik mit dem eigentlich so irreführenden Begriff Krautrock gemacht und erklärt nachvollziehbar, warum diese innovativen, neuen Klänge so nur in Deutschland entstehen konnten.

Christoph Dallach hat unzählige Interviews mit nahezu allen Musiker:innen aus dem Inneren der Szene geführt und deren O-Töne zu einer großartigen Collage montiert, die sich in verschiedenen Kapiteln nicht nur mit den bekanntesten Bands und Künstler:innen, sondern auch mit deren Elternhäusern, der deutschen Nachkriegsgesellschaft, WGs, Jazz, Drogen, Reisen und der allgemeinen Musiklandschaft auseinandersetzt. Das Ergebnis ist nicht nur für Musikinteressierte extrem spannend, sondern auch von hoher kultur-und zeitgeschichtlicher Relevanz.
Fantastisch.

This guide bundles the knowledge of several acting theories, and supports you on the best possible way.

Er ist einer der größten Stars Hollywoods, Rapper, Kino-Held und der "Prinz von Bel-Air". Doch der Strahlemann hatte immer mit ganz eigenen Problemen und Widrigkeiten zu kämpfen: Selbstkritisch und reflektiert führt Will Smith in "Will" durch sein Leben und lässt dabei auch seine Schwächen, Zweifel, Fehler, Macken nicht aus. Ein erfrischendes, fesselndes Buch, das beeindruckend den Menschen hinter der Promi-Fassade zeigt.
Whoa. What a devastating read! A dystopia in the darkest sense of the word - without a happy ending whatsoever (that's how I interpret it at least).
A must-read classic.

You'll never think of rats the same way again!
