About this release
La vita di Cristo viene ripercorsa interamente e con taglio spettacolare: l’arrivo dei Re Magi a Betlemme, la fuga in Egitto, la predicazione, i miracoli, la crocifissione, la resurrezione e l’apparizione agli apostoli. C’è anche John Wayne come centurione romano. Un film pacato, garbato, curato, che lascia spazio al pensiero e consente la riflessione dopo ogni scena.

From his birth in Bethlehem to his death and eventual resurrection, the life of Jesus Christ is given the all-star treatment in this epic retelling. Major aspects of Christ's life are touched upon, including the execution of all the newborn males in Egypt by King Herod; Christ's baptism by John the Baptist; and the betrayal by Judas after the Last Supper that eventually leads to Christ's crucifixion and miraculous return.
