1975 · 140 min · History, Drama
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.
Directed by Roberto Rossellini. Starring Pier Maria Rossi, Mita Ungaro, Carlos de Carvalho, Fausto Di Bella and Vernon Dobtcheff.
Lyradrift plots The Messiah as a star at the centre of its own sky, with related films orbiting it as satellites, gathered from TMDB recommendations, shared themes, Wikidata links (same director, writer, series, source material or subject) and closeness of feel, then chosen for the strongest evidence — the closer and brighter a star, the more strongly it is related. Fly to any satellite to make it the new centre and keep exploring.
