Movie Reviews of Anthony Warrior of God
Movie Review: A Cinematic Landmark
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't know much about St. Anthony before I saw this movie, except for hearing my Italian relatives invoke his name in moments of desperation. After seeing it, though, I understood why he's so popular. This is a great piece of historical drama, and the first theatrical film that ignores the legends and deals with the facts surrounding the life of Anthony of Padua. He risked his life standing up for the poor and oppressed in a time when "oppression" was just another word for "government".
My only criticism with the film is the lack of back story. Anthony makes his entrance as a shipwreck victim, and the focus is on the deeds that made him so beloved and famous among Christians of the 13th century. Great perfomances by Jordi Molla as Anthony, and by Paolo De Vita who plays Anthony's closest disciple and the film's narrator.
