Vie et Passion du Christ is a 44-minute French silent film that was produced and released in 1903. As such, it is one of the earliest feature-length narrative films.[1]
The film, with hand painted coloring, takes a straightforward approach to its subject matter; all scenes are introduced by an inter-title giving the traditional name of the event (the Annunciation, the Nativity, etc.) followed by the actors playing out the familiar stories from the Gospels. Other than the scene titles, there are no other inter-titles. An alternate title was La Vie et la passion de Jésus Christ.

- ^ S. Lubin released a different passion play film in the U.S. in January 1903, running 60 minutes. Some film historians disqualify both as feature films because they were released in multiple parts of one scene each, leaving the exhibitor the option of showing the scenes together.
