Spartacus

1913 · 72 min Drama
5.2 / 10 · TMDB

The second adaptation of Raffaello Giovagnoli's novel comes at a time when Italy really started pumping out their epic films with the longer running times, expensive sets and lavish production values. This film really doesn't stray too far from the source as we have our hero Spartacus being sold as a slave only to rise up and battle the evil Crassus.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a monumental tableau, relying on its literary source to present a foundational example of the Italian historical epic. It explores the theme of rebellion through lavish production design and an extended runtime that was ambitious for its era.

What lingers after viewing is a sense of witnessing the early architecture of cinematic spectacle. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Giovanni Enrico Vidali
