Product: Luther [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Germany ]
Rating: 5.0
Brilliant!!!
Joseph Fiennes plays Luther in this brilliant film. We watch him rise from obscurity into the leading voice of the Reformation, although he made it clear that he really didn't want to destroy the Catholic Church. He merely wanted to "clean up" the practice of selling indulgences, and the scenes in the film which show the masses being hoodwinked into giving their hard earned cash for some religious gimmick will chill your soul. It's no wonder Luther rose to the occasion and challenged the Powers that Were. If he hadn't, someone else would have.A fine film, and it covers much of Luther's life and is true to the historical narrative. A highly recommended movie!!!
