LUTHER (2003)
Director: Eric Till
Writers: Camille Thomasson,
Bart Gavigan
Stars: Joseph Fiennes, Bruno Ganz and Peter Ustinov
Biography of Martin Luther, the 16th-century priest who led the
Christian Reformation and opened up new possibilities in exploration of
faith. The film begins with his vow to become a monk, and continues
through his struggles to reconcile his desire for sanctification with
his increasing abhorrence of the corruption and hypocrisy pervading the
Church's hierarchy. He is ultimately charged with heresy and must
confront the ruling cardinals and princes, urging them to make the
Scriptures available to the common believer and lead the Church toward
faith through justice and righteousness.
