"The Passion of the Christ" (Blu-ray)
Synopsis
The story of Jesus in the last 12 hours of his life is told from a point of view that does not hold back on exhibition of the suffering He was made to endure (how many movies about Jesus are rated R?)

Commentary
The languages chosen for the film were Aramaic and Latin, for realism I suppose, but reading subtitles is certainly a distraction.
Technical
The image is very sharp and there is nice surround envelopment.
Extras
There are two versions of the movie, one with all the violence and a second with the explicit bloodiness edited out. There is also the Director's Commentary, The Making of, A Historical and Cultural Retrospective of the Crucifixion, Deleted Scenes, and other things.
