Il re dei re (1927)
La vita del Messia nell'ottica di Maria Maddalena, donna di facili costumi in terra di Gerusalemme. Quando la donna viene infatti a sapere che Giuda, un suo spasimante, si è unito a Gesù, vuole conoscere quest'uomo prodigioso. Rimane affascinata anche lei e lo segue fino alla resurrezione. Grande la regia e la scelta delle inquadrature, famosa la scena dell'occhio di un cieco che mostra al pubblico, di riflesso, Gesù giunto a miracolarlo.
