The Messiah (1975)

6.5 | Oct 24, 1975 (IT) | History, Drama | 02:20

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.
