Overview

The rebellious Thracian Spartacus, born and raised a slave, is sold to Gladiator trainer Batiatus. After weeks of being trained to kill for the arena, Spartacus turns on his owners and leads the other slaves in rebellion. As the rebels move from town to town, their numbers swell as escaped slaves join their ranks.

Viewing Notes

I’ve seen portions of this but never the entire movie so it was great to see it for the first time in its entirety in 35mm. The print was in really good shape and included the four minute prelude music and the intermission. This is the first film of CU Boulder IFS’ focus on Stanley Kubrick this semester. Really looking forward to seeing most of his films in 35mm during this run.
