The Messiah(Il Messia)

✭ ✭ ✭

Italy, France · 1975
2h 20m
Director Roberto Rossellini
Starring Pier Maria Rossi, Mita Ungaro, Carlos de Carvalho, Fausto Di Bella
Genre History, Drama

Directed by Roberto Rossellini (his final film). Rossellini takes numerous liberties with the original source material, rearranging and omitting events at will, presenting everything in a low-key, highly undramatic fashion. The film begins in Old Testament times, allowing Rossellini to present the story of Jesus in its ancient, historic context. This clip shows the Last Supper, depicted Rossellini-style.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
