You can say that again. (Grin)
My distinct impression was the first 40 minutes, counting commercials, was done by completely different producer and director. The tone and shooting technique were different. When it shifted back to the piece on the Sudarium of Oviedo, the original tone and shooting technique were returned. I think that 10-15 minute segment was cut in without the knowledge of the other producer and director or without their input. Someone's idea of "balance".
We saw the Shroud last time we were in Italy. They opened the exhibition several days before we were to fly out and we had to go. It is well documented and exhibited nicely, and it was thrilling to see it. As was the traffic in Turin!! Yikes - we drive freeways in Los Angeles with impunity, but Turin is no-holds-barred. We were laughing/ screaming/ careening with the rest of them.

Iscool, God works in us His salvation. We are human and He understands that we may need help to believe. Even when we do believe He can use anything He wants to increase our faith. Non of us cannot use greater faith.
The verse you quoted says "the evidence of things hoped for, which means that God gives proof for His existence and His willingness to intervene into our lives and to be our hope. The Bible is proof.
My sister has a left leaning friend whom we have loved and witnessed to for years. She has only been minimally interested in our message to her. After watching the show with the information about the shroud in it the other day, she was taken back and poured out to my sister that she never really understood the terrible, terrible suffering that Jesus took for us. She told my sister that she is often brought back in her mind to meditating on just what Jesus went through when He died for us. She is a fairly caring and tender hearted person and was completely taken back and deeply considerate over Jesus' suffering for us. This is a very good thing. We have loved, prayed for and witnessed to her for years. God used the information about the shroud to move her heart to core and to highlight how much Jesus suffered for her and loves her. Praise The LORD!!!
Joseph of Arimethea was Jesus’s uncle. As such, after Joseph died, he would have then been the patriarch of the family.
Also, In Rome at the time. only a family member could petition the governor for the body of a criminal.
He was also a wealthy man - and could afford such a fine burial cloth - and tomb.
It’s on YouTube - in full

It’s been proven NOT to be ‘art work”, no pigment of any kind. - but was on a human being - and it’s human blood.
As to your “looks closer to church art than it does to what we would expect of a realistic human...”
I am a portrait artist.
I have researched and studied the Shroud image from an art angle.
The early ‘church art’ paintings are iconographic - thousands were painted to provide churches with a ‘painting’ of Jesus. There were no printing presses no cameras.
The early ‘church paintings’ were actually done by an artist or artists who had access to the Shroud. Then other artists copied those renditions. Some of the paintings depict 3 small strands of hair on his forehead - as they mistook the blood flow on the Shroud to be hair.
There are paintings of the Shroud being ceremoniously shown to the public long before the erroneous ‘carbon dating’ claim.
The Shroud came BEFORE any paintings.
the Pantocrator is one of, perhaps THE earliest ‘Jesus’ portraits. It is my favorite. I believe the artist was looking at the Shroud - the image of which would have been much darker and more discernible at the time.

Thank you for that information. It’s very interesting.
I have it saved on my DVR - which I’m going to lose in about a month. So, I’m going to enjoy it .. and share it with my sister in a couple of weeks.
Is this one called “The Face of Jesus” ..??
Go to YouTube and look for “The Face of Jesus”.
It’s not like anything I’ve ever seen. When it comes to the final scene, and they reveal the finished work taken from the Shroud; I put it on pause because I gasped at the sight of my Savior’s face.
Check with the History Channel.
