The Flowers of St. Francis

In a poignant celebration of humility, compassion, faith, and sacrifice, Roberto Rossellini's "The Flowers of St. Francis" presents nine vignettes that lovingly convey the universal teachings of the People's Saint, beautifully photographed to evoke medieval paintings and cast with monks from the Nocera Inferiore Monastery. The film is a timeless and moving portrait of the search for spiritual enlightenment, as it follows the life and work of St. Francis through parables and moral themes.
