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.
The Messiah was directed by Roberto Rossellini.
The Messiah runs for 2h 20min, and was released in 1975.
