The Flowers of St. Francis

Francesco, giullare di Dio / Roberto Rossellini / Italy 1950 / 86 min. / DCP
Not all neorealist films attempted to portray the Italian post-war reality. After completing his War Trilogy, Roberto Rossellini went for a very surprising topic within his oeuvre. His bouquet of Franciscan legends is composed of various joys and sorrows of mediaeval spirituality.
