Jeymes Samuel follows up The Harder They Fall with the wild biblical epic, The Book of Clarence, starring LaKeith Stanfield. Read on for our review.
Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn is not the only film at LFF that had to contend with the glory of its predecessor. Jeymes Samuel had a marvelous directorial debut with 2021’s The Harder They Fall, a revisionist Western for Netflix that put his highly stylized sensibilities on full display. His second feature, The Book of Clarence, takes a big jump in both stakes and scope, bringing us all the way back to AD 33 in Lower City, Jerusalem.
Clarence’s main predicament is that he owes a considerable debt to Jedediah the Terrible . This is made worse by the fact that Clarence is in love with his sister . Thinking that if he proves to be a Man of God his debt will be excused, Clarence gets the great idea to become the 13th Apostle. In order to do so, Judas challenges him to free all the gladiator slaves. This is where we meet the new member of the gang, Barabbas , whom Clarence defeats in battle, freeing him.
