silent film that was produced and released in 1903. As such, it is one of the earliest feature-length narrative films. [S. Lubin released a differentpassion play film in the U.S. in January 1903, running 60 minutes. Some film historians disqualify both as feature films because they were released in multiple parts of one scene each, leaving the exhibitor the option of showing the scenes together.]The film, with hand painted coloring, takes a straightforward approach to its subject matter; all scenes are introduced by an inter-title giving the traditional name of the event (the
Annunciation , the Nativity, etc.) followed by the actors playing out the familiar stories from theGospels . Other than the scene titles, there are no other inter-titles. An alternate title was "La Vie et la passion de Jésus Christ".See also
