A grand journey of hope and a timeless search for spiritual enlightenment, Roberto Rossellini (War Trilogy) and co-writer Federico Fellini (La Dolce Vita) convey the monumental teachings of the people's Saint through a captivating series of personal vignettes - illustrating the power of humility, compassion, faith and sacrifice. Breathtaking in its honesty and evocative in its delicate depiction of the era, The Flowers Of St Francis is cast with monks from the Nocera Inferiore Monastery and remains a moving study of optimism and spiritual potential. I've never seen the life of a Saint treated on film with so little solemnity and so much warmth. Martin Scorsese, My Voyage To Italy.
