Description
The legendary chapter from The Bible of fraternal envy and loathing, deceit and revenge is brilliantly brought to life in this dramatic gripping film. Directed by Sir Peter Hall, Jacob superbly portrays the classic story of twin brothers, Jacob and Esau, as they fight for their father's affection and inheritance. Jacob flees and shelters with his uncle, Laban, and falls in love with the beautiful Rachel. In turn Jacob endures the deceit of his uncle with his unwanted marriage to Leah instead of Rachel.
Matther Modine heads an extremely strong cast that includes Sean Bean as Esau, Lara Flynn Boyle and Joss Ackland.
