The Messiah

Directed by Roberto Rossellini
1975    2h 20mHistory, Drama,
6.86.5
Rossellini takes numerous liberties with the original source material, rearranging and omitting events at will, presenting everything in a highly undramatic fashion. The film begins in the time of the Old Testament, allowing Rossellini to present the story of Jesus in its ancient, historic context.
