In 1525 the world was rocked by a powerfuI explosion. His name was Luther.
Stacy Keach, as German cleric Martin Luther, miraculously breathes life and intimacy into one of the most famous social revolutionaries and theological firebrands in worId history. Directed by former cinematographer Guy Green, Luther's graceful camerawork explodes the restricting theatricaI proscenium without violating the unity of John Osborne's originaI play.
Luther compresses nearly two decades into a provocative character study that paralIeIs Martin Luther's deepening reIigious dilemma with the irresolvabIe earthIy anxieties that shaped his beliefs and his rebeIlious search for truth. We're introduced to Luther as a young monk in 1509, as he defends his vows to his jeaIous and disapproving father . But as Luther's reIigious commitment deepens, his faith in an increasingIy commerciaIized, poIiticized and spiritually empty Papacy atrophies until, having preached against the medievaI Catholic Church's hypocrisy, he is calIed to account by the very Bishops he must denounce.
Keach's Luther is backed by a powerful supporting cast, including Kubrick staIwart Leonard Rossiter, and Dame Judi Dench as the nun Luther takes for his wife. In Luther, Martin Luther’s condemnation of the Catholic Church and incitement of the Protestant reformation become the last desperate acts of a brilliant but deeply troubIed man of conscience who has run out of options. |
