    Almost Perfect
  

*by P***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2005*

NOTE (October 6,2011) I have since watched other st francis movies and especially Clare and Francis.  I am forced to revise my review with the following points: Brother Sun Sister Moon is now horrible for me and this is just average.  I have since reduced the rating from 5 to 3 (end of note)Being a longtime devotee of Saint Francis, I have read at least 10 biographies and seen the three most famous films about him.  Francis of Assisi (1961) is a good introductory film, while Brother Sun Sister Moon (1973) was an adequate retelling of the story.  In my mind, however, Francesco is the most historically accurate of the three.  There is little of Hollywood or Flower Power in here.  Francesco's struggles and rough faith journey is well presented.  The names used for the main characters is in the old Italian, with Chiara used instead of Claire, Leoni instead of Leo, among others.Good points: Vangelis' masterful score lends a tangible atmosphere of spiritual struggle.  Helena Bonham Carter's Portayal of St. Claire, or Chiara, was insipiring and memorable.  I named my daughter Chiara as a result.  The supporting characters, especially Pietro Catani and Leoni, were magnificent.Bad points: Unfortunately, this movie couldn't be perfect.  The one fly in the ointment for me was Mickey Rourke.  At times, especially in scenes involving lepers, he truly captures the character of the saint.  Most of the time, however, he just seems to me to be rattling off memorized lines.Another point worth noting is that the miraculous events of Francis' life were minimized.  No talking crucifixes or any of that here.  Only the stigmata.  But what an impact that scene makes!I've seen two versions of this movie.  One was from a Japanese laserdisc and another was the VHS version.  It appears that scenes were rearranged for the VHS version, and I suppose that this accounts for the "disjointedness" that many other reviews mention.  The Japanese laserdisc version I saw had a much more coherent scene arrangement.Still, I give this 5 stars.

    Disgusting video.
  

*by V***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2021*

This should have been rated R for violence, nudity and immorality.  Had to stop watching after the first five minutes.  A disgrace to the memory of the great St. Francis.

    A Different View
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2010*

This rendition of Francis is seen through those who knew him. Unlike Brother Sun, Sister Moon, that seeks to tell the story of St.Francis, this movie is much more graphic and telling, with glimpses of how those who lived with Francis actually knew him. Since Thomas of Celano was the first to actually write about Francis, much of this is somewhat speculative. Another good movie about Francis and those who knew him. Would suggest that any serious student of St. Francis read the actual writings of Francis and the book by Thomas of Celano. Then with that understanding take time to watch both this movie and Brother Sun, Sister Moon. I personally like Brother Sun, Sister Moon because of its beautiful photography, story and music.
