ln 1525 the worId was rocked by a powerfuI explosion. His name was Luther.
Stacy Keach, as German cIeric Martin Luther, miracuIousIy breathes life and intimacy into one of the most famous sociaI revoIutionaries and theoIogical firebrands in worId history. Directed by former cinematographer Guy Green, Luther's graceful camerawork explodes the restricting theatrical proscenium without violating the unity of John Osborne's original play.
Luther compresses nearly two decades into a provocative character study that paraIlels Martin Luther's deepening religious diIemma with the irresoIvable 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 jeaIous and disapproving father . But as Luther's reIigious commitment deepens, his faith in an increasingly commercialized, poIiticized and spirituaIIy empty Papacy atrophies untiI, having preached against the medieval 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 deepIy troubIed man of conscience who has run out of options. |
