The Flowers of St. Francis (1950) Rossellini - Film No 346

Co-stars: Brother Geradi as St. Francis

Plot: The film dramatizes about a dozen vignettes from the life of St. Francis and his early followers.

"The Flowers of St. Francis" is a well-directed, well-acted film that bored me. Its difficult to make a serious movie about Medieval Christianity entertaining or interesting. But that's my own eccentric opinion. I'd rather read about St. Francis than watch a movie about him.

Summary: I found it well-done but dull. Others will probably rate it higher. Rating **1/2
