Dominating this film is a superb Derek Jacobi as the Cardinal Inquisitor.Although virtually a monologue by Jacobi for long sections, there are fine cameo supporting roles from Alan Armstrong; a silent Stephen Billington and a mobile faced, equally mute, John Dallimore.Based on a section from Dostoyevski's "Brother's Karazamov", the film discusses the reaction of the Spanish Catholic Church in 1680 to the possibility of a prisoner being Christ in his second coming.A thought provoking, well filmed and intellectual piece, almost theatrical in presentation, with an interesting twist at the end.Many lively hours of discussion ensued in our household.
