The Messiah
2h 20m·History, Drama
Directed by Roberto Rossellini·1975
Rate
6.6/10 avgAverage user ratingRossellini 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.
