Once Upon a Time in Bethlehem

The approach of 'Once Upon a Time in Bethlehem', known in Italy by its original title' Il primo Natalei, tells us a story that is characterized by its comic tone and its peculiarity of introducing temporary trips while locating us in ancient Rome. The thief Salvo and the parish priest Valentino travel 2,000 years back in time to the Palestine that saw Jesus born. The strange couple is in an unknown environment, during the kingdom of Heroes and the Roman domination in Hebrew territory, where they will star in misunderstandings, misunderstandings and many troubles. A comedy that premiered in Italy is last year and that from what we see in the approach brings us many scenarios where it is not at all difficult to find the comedy and the most funny situations.

In a Medusa Films production, the film had a budget of 6 million euros, which is not bad. The direction is composed in this case by two Italian directors, Salvatore Ficarra, Valentino Picone, who are also in charge, together with Nicola Guaglianone, of writing the script for 'Once Upon a Time in Bethlehem'. In the main cast, we can also meet Salvatore Ficarra, Valentino Picone, who, as we see, perform several of the most important functions within this production, in addition to other names such as Massimo Popolizio.
