Competition: The Passion of the Christ on DVD

Win a copy of The Passion of the Christ on DVD

We have 2 copies of The Passion of the Christ to give away on DVD, courtesy of Icon Home Entertainment.

Depicting the last 12 hours of the life of Jesus of Nazareth (Jim Caviezel), it starts with his betrayal by Judas Iscariot (Luca Lionello), his arrest and trial by Pontious Pilate (Hristo Shopov) and culminates with his crucifixion and resurrection.

Directed by Mel Gibson – who funded the film himself and co-wrote the screenplay – it uses flashbacks to a handful of pertinent moments in Jesus’ life and teachings, such as the Sermon on the Mount and the Last Supper, as well as his relationships with his mother and his disciples.

Co-starring Maia Morgenstern and Monica Bellucci, it was performed in Aramaic and Latin (with English subtitles) and was became one of the highest grossing films of 2004.

However, to be in with a chance of winning a copy of The Passion of the Christ on DVD just answer the following question:

Which 1993 film was Mel Gibson’s first as a director?

The closing date is Monday 12th April and winners will be notified by email.

*UPDATE 11/04/10: We made a mistake with this competition – the year should have read 1993 and not 1995. However, any entries that named Gibson’s films from 1993 and 1995 will be included in the final draw. Apologies again. *
