Jesus of Nazareth (40th Anniversary Edition) [DVD] [Region 1] [NTSC]

Be very careful before buying, I wasted money! Be certain your player is multi-region for DVDs AND multi-region for Blu-ray, so a Region A Blu-ray (which this is) cannot be played on a multi-region player for DVDs only! That’s why the A/B/C map appears — but you cannot choose “A” on the remote if your player is NOT multi-region for DVDs AND Blu-ray. Double check especially on a Panasonic Mutli-region DVD players. The advert for this Blu-ray only mentions Region 1, it is actually Region A and can only play on players where Region A (not 1) can be selected!

Great thanx

Excellent!!! Thank you!

For customers in England, please be aware that the SHOUT production Jesus Of Nazareth: The Complete Miniseries (40th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray ] sold by: RAREWAVES USA " is encoded for region a playback only. Hence the single star is not in respect of the excellent production, Jesus of Nazareth, but rather to reflect the fact that I cannot enjoy said production. Unfortunately the advert on amazon did not specify the region and I should mention (to mitigate appearing like a total numpty) that I have purchased region free blu ray discs from USA sellers before - this recording, however, is not region free. Additionally, I have also bought items from 'rarewaves usa' before, with no issues; so I'm chalking this up to 'an honest mistake'.

Contrary to what someone said in the reviews extra scenes were NOT filmed after it was a hit at first time shown in UK. The 2 scenes that are missing from this DVD are the ones that include Judas. They were not in the original showing for some reason but added later when it was repeated. But this DVD version also has them missing so you would be better getting the Spanish version DVD if you want the full uncut version.

Disappointed!!! I purchased this as a present for my father. How disappointed am I that it won't play in his or my BluRay DVD player. Very upset that we can not watch this fantastic mini series :(

Is not compatible with uk Blue player!!!

I could not play it NTSC Returned April 1 to sender

Jesus of Nazareth: The Complete Miniseries 40th Anniversary Blu Ray Edition I was a fan of this 1977 mini series and watching has become a Easter tradition. Originally, Jesus of Nazareth premiered 40 years ago today, 27 March 1977 on British television; and made its American premiere as an NBC Easter special, on 3 April 1977. I remember watching it live that premiere week on a 13" color television with no remote. NBC rebroadcast the series in 1981 and four more times through 1990s. It was originally released as a three-tape VHS edition in the early 1980s under the Magnetic Video label. VHS home players were new at this time. The orginal VHS Box set sold for over $50.00. The three-tape edition was one of the only VHS cassettes available to "check-out" and watch in my college library. So, I watched this series many times. It was released later under the mainstream video label of CBS/FOX in 1986. Another three-tape VHS edition was released by LIVE Home Video in 1992 and once more on 22 February 1995. Artisan Entertainment released the DVD version on two discs on 6 December 1999. In the UK, the original 1986 Polygram VHS (4 tapes) was fully uncut and featured the full 386 minute version. The 2000 Carlton video (2 tapes) featured a heavily abridged print running 270 minutes. Although the Granada DVD is credited as the unedited print it runs for 374 minutes and misses out 2 scenes - a private meeting between Judas Iscariot and Zerah, and the opening betrayal sequence during the Last Supper. This is nice (2) Disc Blu Ray release from Shout Factory with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.33:1. There have been a variety of previous international Blu-ray releases of this title, some at least evidently sourced from different masters (and at least a couple sporting different lengths--this version omits several minutes that were seen in at least some versions of the miniseries, though it's instructive to note that the IMDb lists the Italian theatrical version of this as having been significantly shorter than even this version). This is not the greatest restoration experience to date. But if your a fan of this television mini-series like I am, its far better than anything to date. Much better than the 1980's VHS. The negative reviews in my opinion are over the top critique. I was pleased with the edition and believe it is worthy of purchase. I wish there were better 'special features" and scene selection ability. I almost got sucked into the negative reviews. This is not the greatest restoration but much much better than anything to date! Better than streaming quality and you own it! Going into full videophile mode: I use a OPPO BDP-83SE, which allows a "zoom" "picture adjustment full screen" option. I rarely use this zoom option because it departs from the directors intent. But in the case, I believe it is the right setting and truthfully the intended viewing option. Having this OPPO Blu ray player picture adjustment brings this film to full life. 40 years later, on Easter, this is a great film to revisit. Just as good as it was live on a 13 inch color television. If this mini-series is new to you, it is about the life of Jesus which is majestically and movingly portrayed in one of the most magnificent miniseries ever created.Acclaimed director Franco Zeffirelli and an all-star cast come together to deliver a powerful adaptation of the Gospels in 1977's Jesus Of Nazareth. From the Nativity to the Crucifixion and Resurrection, the life of Jesus (played by Robert Powell) is presented with stunning depth, gravity, and emotion. Acclaimed by critics and viewers alike, Jesus Of Nazareth remains one of the finest depictions of the story of Christ nearly forty years after its release. Olivia Hussey, Anne Bancroft, Ernest Borgnine, Valentina Cortese, James Earl Jones, James Mason, Ian McShane, Christopher Plummer, Donald Pleasance, and Sir Laurence Olivier co-star in this rewarding, uplifting and faith-affirming portrayal.

英語圏のテレビシリーズがdvd 化されたのかな？最後の誘惑とは違い飾らず聖書に忠実な所が宗教への信仰の深さを感じます。

I bought the Jesus of Nazareth 40th Anniversary Edition from Marc&Lukas NL, when you click on their profile the comany is actually based in Germany, not the Netherlands as the name suggests. I thought this would be ok as it was still a European country. BUT BEWARE, the shout factory version is a US import and does not play unless you have a US compatible player. Nowhere in the listing does it state this. The one star is a refelection on the feeling of being decived and not the actual series. I will chalk this up to exeperience and buy from a more trusted source in future.

Película de colección!! Lástima que la vendan hacia México y nontraiga la opción de subtítulos. El inglés de esa época y los términos no son tan sencillos, pero bueno igual con los subtítulos en inglés te apoyas.

A re-mastered edition of the classic mini-series by director Franco Zeffirelli. The quality is great and it got delivered promptly. Please be aware that audio and subtitles only come in English. Great to watch during the Christian Holy Week.
