Sebastiane (1976) Reviews

Sebastiane (1976)
Member Rating:  
Filmed entirely in vulgar Latin, this experimental film recounts the life of Sebastiane, a puritanical but beautiful Christian soldier in the Roman Imperial troops who is martyred when he refuses the homosexual advances of his pagan captain. When this film was released, it was the only English-made film to have required English subtitles, and it is an early film by the noted experimental and outspokenly homosexual director Derek Jarman, who died in 1994. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

I am a definite movie freak but this was just awful, no anount of naked men could make this piece of crap anything to watch, bad acting, no plot line, imagery that any first year film student could see right through and costumes borrowed from a junior high drama department. Don't waste your time

3/26/2005 Wish I had read the writer/Director's brief bio before I watched the movie. I'm sure there must be a point to it but I missed it. Nodded at some points. Perhaps ahead of it's time.

You need more than a bunch of half naked and totally naked men running around to make a movie. This movie was noticably low budget. The language is "vulgar" latin, so be prepared to read English subtitles the entire time. You may wear-out the fast forward button on your remote...don't be afraid to use it, because there are very few "good" parts. Most of the acting was bad, some of it was mediocre. There were a few parts of the movie (very few parts) that were erotic. The beginning of the movie was really corny (some orgy/party going on). Sebastiane doesn't want to take part in the homosexual behavior like the other men, so they kill him because of it. Many parts of the movie are slow moving and tedious.

This has got to be my all time favorite sadistic-naked-roman-soldier-in-exile movie filmed in Latin. If you're into homoerotic films with lot's of unexplained nudity by some very hot men, this is the film for you. I did almost choke when they started playing with a frisbee and the end was a bit too brutal for my taste.

I was not very impressed. This was a very slow moving film, and development of the characters was very poorly done. You never got to like or even care about Sebatiane.

Homoerotic telling of an historical event. Interesting artistic photography and typical slowmoving British style. The vulgar Latin was quite unusual. Recommended if you like to view naked male bodies.

... which is about the best thing in it. Otherwise, it is a bit too wierd. The music is annoying. The plot is hard to follow.

This movie, I could not stand to watch 10 whole minutes of the whole thing. Just a bunch of naked guys running around and it was like wayyyyy back in the bible days or some crap. Just terrible. Bad actors, and I mean, just horrible. Not a good movie at all!! Wouldnt even give it a fraction of a star!

Good but not great. At times a kittle confusing.
