Closed Captioned; Bio/Filmographies; Soundtrack English; Director's Comments; Behind The Scenes After being squeezed out of his church by his ex-wife, a Texas fundamentalist preacher's alcohol-fueled rage sends him off the deep end. After beating her new beau into a coma, he flees to Louisiana and seizes the chance to reinvent himself as a devout "Apostle," founding a new church and captivating the citizenry while keeping his sins buried. Duvall, who also wrote and produced, is riveting in the title role. Academy Award Nominations: 1--Best Actor (Duvall). Apostle Reviews: "...Duvall is a blazing wonder in a film that ranks with the year's best..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...Duvall is a heaven-inspired acting machine..."
-- Robin Dougherty, Sight and Sound "...Fascinating, eccentric....[Duvall is] righteous, charismatic....Enough to renew your faith -- in movies, at the very least..." -- Rating: A-
-- Ty Burr, Entertainment Weekly "...A sweetly believable tone....A rare display of spiritual light on screen..."
-- Janet Maslin, New York Times "...A lyrical tale of redemption....Duvall delivers a bravura, Oscar-quality performance....THE APOSTLE is a profoundly humane movie that crackles with the joy and sorrow of an old blues record..."-- Jason Matloff, Premiere "...THE APOSTLE is a good little movie dominated by a great central performance that's likely to endure..."
-- Mike Clark, USA Today "...THE APOSTLE sees its characters in an unusually perceptive light; they have the complexity and spontaneity of people in a documentary..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The Apostle is one the best movies I have ever seen. It ranks with the Passion OF The Christ. The movie deals with pursuing the call of God, no matter what trial may come against you. What a great inspirational movie.

This is one of the deepest and most touching movies I've ever seen. It was so real, Robert Duvall was outstanding as well as the other cast members. It flowed as if unscripted, well acted and then some. The behind the scenes footage is awe inspiring. One of the best.

A Billy Joe Shaver album is always cause for celebration, but on this 2007, Grammy-nominated release, the outlaw country troubadour shines in a whole new way. Produced by John Carter Cash, the album features all country-gospel originals, half of them sung in duet with a laundry list of country greats, including the late Johnny Cash, old partner in crime Kris Kristofferson, and Tanya Tucker. Although the Christian-themed lyrics are utterly sincere, fans needn't worry that Shaver has gone soft on ...

| | 42 Up DVD (1998)
Apostle DVD
$13.25
Director Michael Apted's evolving film, the longest-running documentary project in history, began as a study of the influence of class on schoolchildren in England. In SEVEN UP (1963), Apted interviewed 14 seven-year-old children from vastly different backgrounds. He visited the same group of children every seven years, charting the changes in their lives. In 42 UP, the sixth film in the series, the subjects have grown up, entered the middle of their lives, and experienced dramatic reversals of fortune. Although three of the participants have removed themselves from the spotlight, the remaining voices paint an enlightening, honest picture of love, life, death, success, and failure. Going beyond the notion of merely recording history, the documentary is unusual in the effect that it has had on the participants' ...
