The Messiah
Film / 1975

The Messiah

Directed by Roberto Rossellini
HistoryDrama

★ 6.6/10Audience rating

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.
