Christus (1916) is a silent film directed by Giulio Antamoro
Abstract
Acted by a company of Italian players and shot on locations in Egypt and Palestine, the film follows the biblical account of the story of Jesus of Nazareth from the events directly preceding his birth to his crucifixion, resurrection and ascension. The movie briefly touches upon the Childhood of Jesus and Jesus' Hidden Years, events that are both located in Egypt. Besides the visit to the Jerusalem Temple, the script adds "apocryphal" details about Child Jesus preaching to the other children and Young Jesus preaching to the nomads of the desert and healing an Egyptian princess.
