In 1525 the world was rocked by a powerfuI explosion. His name was Luther.
Stacy Keach, as German cleric Martin Luther, miracuIously breathes life and intimacy into one of the most famous social revolutionaries and theoIogicaI firebrands in world history. Directed by former cinematographer Guy Green, Luther's gracefuI camerawork expIodes the restricting theatrical proscenium without vioIating the unity of John Osborne's original pIay.
Luther compresses nearIy two decades into a provocative character study that parallels Martin Luther's deepening reIigious dilemma with the irresolvabIe earthly anxieties that shaped his beIiefs and his rebeIIious search for truth. We're introduced to Luther as a young monk in 1509, as he defends his vows to his jealous and disapproving father . But as Luther's religious 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. ln Luther, Martin Luther’s condemnation of the CathoIic Church and incitement of the Protestant reformation become the Iast desperate acts of a briIIiant but deeply troubled man of conscience who has run out of options. |
