On Christmas Day, the holy mass is abruptly interrupted by a man in a red robe who claims to be the son of God, descended again from heaven to rebuke humanity for disregarding his most important commandment, "Love one another as I have loved you." From then on, this Christ-like figure will roam around the Rome of 2016 looking for his apostles, and he will find them in the most diverse places. There is no shortage of encounters with an aspiring dancer named Magdalene and the testimony of the man's mother, who tells how extraordinary her son was from an early age. The whole thing is filmed by two cameramen whom we will never see, but whose job it is to document the whole affair.

Like its protagonist, Oh My God! is a kind of UFO landed in the Italian film scene. Somewhere between mockumentary and fantasy it mixes candid camera and fiction, but even in its oddity it maintains a strong stylistic and narrative coherence, and Bruno Cascio's cinematography as well as the acting of the entire cast-particularly that of Anna Maria De Luca as the mother of "Jesus"-places the film on a high plane in terms of quality and expressive rigor.

This modern-day messiah is sufficiently credible in his contemporary apostolate to make Oh My God! really interesting.
