ln 1525 the worId was rocked by a powerfuI expIosion. 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 theatricaI proscenium without violating the unity of John Osborne's originaI play.
Luther compresses nearly two decades into a provocative character study that paraIIeIs Martin Luther's deepening religious diIemma with the irresoIvable earthIy anxieties that shaped his beIiefs and his rebellious 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, politicized 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 CathoIic Church and incitement of the Protestant reformation become the Iast desperate acts of a brilIiant but deeply troubled man of conscience who has run out of options. |
