Spartacus | BFI 75

Spartacus

Stanley Kubrick's grand historical epic about a slave uprising in Rome in 70 B.C. Kirk Douglas stars as the title character, who has known nothing but chains his entire life. After being forced to put on a gladiator show for wealthy Romans (including a marvellously conniving Laurence Olivier as the power-hungry Crassus), Spartacus leads a revolt across Italy that soon has thousands marching on Rome.

Is this the perfect film? Well the music by Alex North has really set the standard for almost 50 years. A dark and downbeat epic. Credit to Douglas for directing the director.
