Spartacus (1960)
a film by Stanley Kubrick
Spartacus is an epic like no other but there is more than the magnificence of the battles or the fight scenes, more than the amazing cast or even more than the incredible story of the rebel slave that put Rome in jeopardy and is still live in popular memory after twenty centuries. What separates Spartacus from just the holiday epic for the epic are the smart dialogues of Dalton Trumbo and all the meanings hidden in them and the eye of Stanley Kubrick in the visual language in a project that he didn't controlled from the beginning but in which he is able to show his talent for delivering memorable and unique images.
