As such\, it has oftentimes provided the subject matter of cinematic treatment. Yet the movies have not been as kind to Esther as one could have hoped. This lecture will survey and critique a number of Esther films. It will pay particular attention to the way in which they rework their biblical source materials for their own ideological and/or theological purposes.
