The Flowers of St. Francis

A Movie for Today... And All Time

Roberto Rossellini directs and co-writes with Federico Fellini a series of simple, joyous vignettes that convey the universal teachings of the People's Saint: humility, compassion, faith, and sacrifice. Photographed to evoke medieval paintings of St. Francis's time and cast with monks from the Nocera Inferiore Monastery, the film offers a timeless portrait of the search for spiritual enlightenment.
