San Antonio de Padua

Correct portrait of a great Romano - Catholic saint , it has all the sweetness and the drops of nostalgia who you expect about it.

A gallery of periods of Anthony of Padova life, from childhood, real special to miracles and fights, to the death, it is just inspired crafted, not impressing, off ourse, but being just touching.

A simple story, decent performances, good and useful remind of familiar hagiographical episodes and defined by titles in English and Italian.

So, not a story but a seed for a large ball of thoughts and emotions.

Nothing special but, in my case, just a lovely memory and fair pledge for saint discover.

If you're Catholic and like Anthony you will like this. It's like those old illustrated lives are the saints books. They take the main episodes of his life and act them out in little vignettes. The movie is one of the last of the silent films. The titles are in Italian and English. It is a very quaint film which points us to holiness.
