What Martin Luther Is About
The film covers the years of Martin Luther between 1505 and 1530 and the birth of the Protestant Reformation. It runs from his entering a monastery to his standing against the practices of the church, and from there to the beginning of a split that divided Europe. The account takes the matter both as a question of faith and as a question of power; who may read and interpret the text stands at the centre of the argument. The film was made in the manner of storytelling of the fifties and gives the subject from Luther’s own point of view. It is worth watching with that in mind; the film does not give the same room to the other side of the argument. Niall MacGinnis plays the lead in Irving Pichel’s hundred and five minute film, completed in 1953.
