Movie Reviews of The Flowers of St Francis - Criterion Collection

Movie Review: shoulda, woulda, coulda
Summary: 4 Stars

In latter 1949 Rossellini wanted to turn the key of disquiet in the heart of man at the end of the horrible decade called 1940's. To do so he gazed to the past champion of meek and mild, to the saint of nature and all living things - St. Francis of Assisi. Ably assisted by then 'not quite famous' Federico Fellini we get a collection of vignettes on the plausible daily deeds once done by his band of fellow monks whom had gathered to hone their skills as a group before setting out in the world, each to his own. It's all very simple, it's all way beyond film narration as we have come to anticipate, and it's all very wonderful. To delve deeper would be to miss that huge chunk of a message aimed dead center right between your ears, eyes, and heart. This one was meant to relax and enjoy. Man is one of many in the collective whole. The total sum make for the special resulting one. Nothing is ever left out.
