Movies in Latin
What movies in Latin language do you know and would recomend (apart from the "Passion of the Christ"). It would be nice if it has subtitles too!
Thanks
Andrey
p.s. I searched this forum for "movies" and found one topic viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5280&p=44797&hilit=movies#p44797 but the link there is dead, so I have even no idea what it was about.
Thanks

Re: Movies in Latin
Sebastiane by Derek Jarman is the only latin-language feature film I know. It's good,—but note well: it's an erotic film dealing with love between Roman soldiers.
Sebastiane (1976) de Derek Jarman est sola taenia plenâ formâ in sermonibus latinis quam gnosco. Bona est,—at nota benè: est taenia erotica amorem inter milites Romanos spectans.

Judging by the clips of it on YouTube, I think that would be a wonderful idea! Especially if you are planning to quit that job soon anywaypaulusnb wrote:maybe I can show it to my sixth grade Latin class.

Re: Movies in Latin
Does the whole movie have to be in Latin? Ah, nevermind. I suppose Romanes eunt domus wouldn't be enough Latin either way...

Re: Movies in Latin
If it's any consolation, the actors in Sebastiane were unskilled in Latin, you might like to know, but did well nevertheless. And the dialogue is pretty sparse!
Si vobis consolationem adhibeat, scitote latinum in loquendo scaenicos illius taeniae non peritos, at benè tamen perfecti sunt. Et macrius colloquium!

Re: Movies in Latin
Nor do I think any latin subtitles have been produced for any film (I looked), which would have been useful.
Nec exstant, nisi fallor, subtituli in sermonibus latinis cuicunque taeniolae producti (eos inquisivi), quod aliter opus fuisset.

Re: Movies in Latin
There are these. http://www.lingua.co.uk/latin/ I cannot imagine they are any good. And then there is the Forum Romanum DVD from American Classics League. (http://www.nle.org/forum.html) The value of these, from what I understand, is that they are horribly cheesy. But they are in Latin. You could always watch Luke the Horse's newscasts on Youtube and wonder at the wide variety of colorful shirts he owns. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRGTYXulemg)

I was not going to touch this with a 10 inch pole, but does the movie make up for its sparsity of dialogue by extending other matters?adrianus wrote:If it's any consolation, the actors in Sebastiane were unskilled in Latin, you might like to know, but did well nevertheless.

Re: Movies in Latin
If you're not just kidding (you could be, of course, paulusnb), I can say this in reply. It's still quite shocking today as a movie; it's all about the visual; it's not into innuendo; and maybe the aesthetics swamp the story of Christian martyrdom.
Si non modò cavillaris (quod cavillaris benè possibile est certó, paulusnb), hoc tibi responsare possum de hâc taeniâ. Et his diebus potestatem consternare habet; permagnè oculo est; palàm non clàm ea multas res scrutatur; praeter narrationem martyrii christiani, ars visifica eam forsit exsuperat.

Re: Movies in Latin
An almost feature length movie has been made by the Latin Teacher and students at Santa Monica High School in California. The language is totally Latin and it is about the lives and problems of the students. The title is 'Pacifica' and this preview can be seen on YouTube

You might contact the 'producer' for more details.
Best, I.

Re: Movies in Latin
The Passion of the Christ is available in Ecclesiastical Latin IIRC.

Re: Movies in Latin
I should add that the classic film 'Man for All Seasons' with Paul Schofield (1966), there is a great scene in which Thomas More's daughter speaks Latin with Henry VIII.

Re: Movies in Latin
There's a 2014 movie called "The Roman" or "The Son of Raw's The Roman" by Simon Rawson. The script is entirely Ecclesiastical Latin, I think. I haven't been able to find the full movie (in fact, I believe the movie was only finished in June).
As this is my second post, I'm unable to post any links, but if anyone is interested in a trailer, you can search IMDB and find a link to Rawson's website.

Re: Movies in Latin
I looked this up. Seems like it could be pretty cool. Prolly not a lot of talking, I suspect. Unfortunately, it's "making the rounds" or something at film fests. It is possible that it wouldn't even see a limited DVD release. So, that would suck.Kaleiokanakaanuenue wrote:There's a 2014 movie called "The Roman" or "The Son of Raw's The Roman" by Simon Rawson.

Anyways, here's the link for those interested. http://the-roman-movie.com/trailer/
And, to all those who care about such things, sorry for adding on to a zombie thread.
