Mesih <Persian> / The Messiah [aka Jesus, the Spirit of God] (2007) is a film directed by Nadar Talebzadeh.
Abstract
The first movie to depict the life of Jesus from an Islamic perspective, as Muhammed's precursor and forteller who ascended to heaven before the crucifixion (with the traitor Judas taking his place). The narrative is based not only on the New Testament but also and primarily, on the Koran and Christian apocryphical literature (notably, the Gospel of Barnabas). As its Christian most recent counterpart, The Passion of the Christ (2004 Gibson), film, the movie is a theological statement that totally disregards historical criticism. In its earnestly admiring view of Jesus, harmonizes as much as possible the Islamic and the Christian faith (to the point of providing two alternative endings about the crucifixion), while repeating some traditional anti-Jewish stereotypes.
Editions and translations
Produced in Iran (2007). Starring Ahmad Soleimani Nia (Jesus). An expanded TV version in 20 episodes of 45m each was broadcast in Iran.
