Das Jesus Video
English release: The Hunt for the Hidden Relic
Literal: The Jesus video
Stephen Vogt, an archaeology student, uncovers a 2000-year-old skeleton and a man’s
notes purporting to have taken a video of Jesus Christ on a camera that doesn’t yet
exist. The result is a 3-hour. blood-filled, melodramatic chase that, for me, detracted
from the more interesting religious questions that the premise might have
addressed.
The two-part German TV movie was based on the book Jesus Video by
Andreas Eschbach with some significant changes to the ending. It was released in the US
with a quality English dubbing in 2006.
