The Messiah
History
Drama
Original title: Il Messia
Director
Roberto Rossellini
Screenplay
Roberto Rossellini, Silvia D'Amico Bendicò
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.
