Watch The Messiah (1975) Official Trailer
6.6 / 10 IMDb October 24, 1975 2h 20m
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.
