Product: Luther [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Germany ]
Rating: 5.0
Accurate and too short
As a student of Luther's works and life, I thought the directors and producers did a great job of showing a portion of Luther's life. His wife's pain in seeing him go each time to some place where he was a wanted man and his return expression of not knowing whether or not he would live through that trip comes through well. Peter Ustinov as Frederick the Wise was outstanding. Apart from playing the lute, I wish it could have shown him composing "A Mighty Fortress" which is so reflective of the tensions of the day. As a vignette though of this man's life and passion, it was outstanding.
