Christus
Antamoro's CHRISTUS, epic in scale and ambition, and featuring decidedly otherworldly special effects, was released in 1916. Telling the story of the Life of Christ, the film is divided into three segments-- three Mysteries. The first of these includes the Birth of Jesus, the arrival of the Magi, Herod and the slaughter of the innocents, the flight into Egypt. The second Mystery features the expulsion of the merchants from the Temple, Mary Magdalene's conversion and Christ's entry into Jerusalem. The third Mystery is itself divided into three separate parts, which are The Passion, The Death and The Resurrection.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative as a monumental sacred fresco, relying on the tradition of the Italian peplum and classical iconography. Each mystery becomes an act of faith transferred to celluloid.
What lingers after viewing is the sense of immersion into epic, almost meditative cinema, where the scale of production blends with profound piety. It feels like witnessing a foundational human story unfold. — MovieFinder Editorial
