Today, I’ve posted Part III of my four-part Medium essay series, “Sacred Cinema.” In this installment, I explore the deeply personal impact that the 1959 version of “Ben-Hur” had on me. Winner of 11 Oscars — a record tied but never beaten — this film marked the beginning of a new form of cinematic spectacle: the “intimate” epic. For me, the film remains a dramatic testament to the transformative, redemptive power of love.
Check out Part III, “The Triumph of the Intimate Epic,” at this link.
