Synopsis
The Basilica of Monreale, near Palermo in Sicily acts as subject and springboard of Carné's final film; Its hundreds of gorgeous and intricate tiled mosaics vividly depict scenes from the Bible. Kinetic camerawork and dramatic narration of each scene compliment these stunning pieces in order to retell the Holy Book's age-old Story.
