Historia Informal del Cine Biblico Y Grecorromano -Z

Biblical-Greco-Roman cinema, or peplum, continues to enjoy great vitality and relevance. In the past, it dominated the box office and, many years later, it continues to enjoy public enthusiasm, as demonstrated by the success of recent high-quality releases such as Gladiator and Gladiator II, the TV series Rome, and even Mel Gibson's controversial The Passion of the Christ. This is a new installment in our informal history of cinema. The fact is that the peplum undoubtedly has virtues that other genres lack. Biblical-Greco-Roman cinema has the great advantage of the grandiose historical setting it can encompass (Egypt, ancient Greece, the Roman Empire...), as well as the visual richness made possible by the costumes and sets and the inherent ethical-political dimension it entails.
