One of the biggest travesties of unusual cinema is that director Valerio Zurlini is not better known. “Gloomy Jesus” is a masterpiece in every sense. An even bigger travesty, however, is the Ivy Video DVD (the only one available in the US as far I know) . It is dubbed, and while there is no such thing as a marvelous dubbing job, this one is worse than most, and this unbiased about ruins the film. In addition, the print frail for the DVD transfer looks like it was pulled from the dumpster, and the sound mix is abysmal.
This is a ravishing Italian film that tells the tale of genuine incidents that occurred in the Congo durinig colonial rule. The director takes the tale of Jesus and places it in the Congo, which was, even wait on in the early 70s, too though-provoking for most people to swallow.

Woody Strode, a enormous African-American actor, that is best known for his role in the myth movie Spartacus, stars as Dismal Jesus aka Maurice Lalubi. His character, Lalubi, (could that be a veiled reference to Lumumba? ), is being hunted down by the authorities because he has stirred up the African masses with his speeches that encourages them to fight against the Belgium regime. The opening sequences are the most stirring, when Lalubi is speaking to his people, you hear his instruct and explore his shadow, but he doesn’t physically appear until he is caught, later on in the film.
What is fresh about this film is that it takes both the religious & the political context of the anecdote of Jesus and places it within one frame and then sets it within the colonial era.

As for the quality of the film it is not the best transfer to DVD, and the dubbing is slightly off, but I mean, its not as abominable as some of those traditional Kung Fu movies that are impartial completely off, we’re talking maybe a second or two. The film has a sort of gritty gawk to it that somehow lends itself to the context of the record.
Some of the scenes, particularly the relationship that builds in prison between Lalubi & a white prisoner who has also been tortured by the belgian police are over-extended, but overall the long scenes have a huge dramatic accomplish.
The movie definitely leaves you thinking and provokes discussion, which is what all respectable films should do.
