Classics at the Browning

Not Rated, 87 minutes
In Italian with English subtitles
In advance of the Feast of St. Francis and the 800th anniversary of his death, we are exploring a classic cinematic representation of his life. In a series of simple and joyous vignettes, director Roberto Rossellini and co-writer Federico Fellini lovingly convey the universal teachings of the People's Saint: humility, compassion, faith, and sacrifice. Gorgeously photographed to evoke the medieval paintings of Saint Francis's time, and cast with monks from the Nocera Inferiore Monastery, The Flowers of St. Francis is a timeless and moving portrait of the search for spiritual enlightenment.
