The Young Messiah
I would like to recommend to everyone the director's version, extended by more than twenty minutes, of additional scenes, which gives a fuller picture of the film and in an interesting way explains some issues completely omitted in the cinema release. It is a pleasure for me to watch movie like The Young Messiah. The main actor plays extremely suggestively, naturally and emotionally. His creation is undoubtedly one of the best in this film and also one of the best in the actor's career. I will remember some scenes of this movie till my funeral. The directing by Cyrus Nowrasteh was just magnificent. Althought it is very underrated movie. Althought The Young Messiah is very underrated movie.
