The King
Directed by Giovanni Columbu
Produced by Sacher Film
A meditative, spiritually dense retelling of Christ's Passion set in rural Sardinia, using amateur actors and timeless landscape to excavate theological meaning from the gospels.
Transposing the story of the Passion of Jesus to Sardinia, Su Re draws for the very first time on the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John together. Giovanni Columbu's distinct view is shot in a landscape unaffected by modernity and played out by an amateur cast, offering still new insights into the life of Christ.
