This is the top scene of Jesus of Nazareth cut into the montage

Who has not seen the legendary series of Franco Jeffirelli Jesus of Nazareth which has become synonymous with Easter?

Although the series was originally shown in cinemas as a film, few have seen one of the top scenes cut in the editing.

This is the scene of the Resurrection of Jesus. Although the scene was filmed normally from the production of the film, then Franco Cefirelli decided to delete it completely.

Why; As he had explained in an earlier interview, there were many problems to which he could not provide solutions. "I tried to turn the scene of the Resurrection and there were these problems, which you do not know how to solve.

It is a mystery, Our work can become very difficult when you go to shoot such scenes. In a photo it is different, but in the cinema, which shows you facts, you can not create this mystery. I tried it several times.

We shot two different scenes for the Resurrection, but in the end we decided to let the audience imagine it the way they wanted. With his faith and his deepest feelings for this mystery. From a cinematic point of view, I was afraid we would lose this mystery. What would Jesus wear? Should the bandages fall off his body? What would be the right way to do it? All these questions were born in my mind. "Maybe in another movie this scene worked, in ours it did not."

The scene was cut in the editing, but for anyone who wants to see it and understand what we are talking about, then they can look it up on Youtube. He will never find Jesus of Nazareth, who is shown every year on Greek TV.
