Review by Kirpianuscus

a film about faith. about a saint. about confession of the truth. the inner truth. and each of this fact did it a film without reviews. because each Catholic believer has his Francesco. out of words - except the prays, out of obvious images because he is the result of so many. and it is simple to define this film as a decent adaptation of the life of Il Poverello. Raoul Bova did a beautiful job. the atmosphere reminds the Giotto canon about the circle of the life of saint. the desire of realism has the gift to give a coherent story . not surprises, not innovations, not poetry from the other portraits of Francesco in cinema. only a correct work. maybe, to carnal. but this is far to be a sin.
