About this product

Product Information

Conceived and executed in much the same visual manner as his ultra-popularROMEO AND JULIET (1968), Franco Zeffirelli's BROTHER SUN SISTER MOON attempts to draw parallels between the work and philosophy of St. Francisand the ideology that underpinned the worldwide hippie movement throughoutthe 1960s and early '70s. Zeffirelli's signature lush photography and use ofreal architecture and settings enhances the story of this great historicalfigure, played by young British newcomer Graham Faulkner.Francesco, the spoiled son of a wealthy merchant, renounces all his worldlypossessions to live a simple life as a man of God. Much to the dismay of the local bishop, he gradually gains a large following. The cinematography, editing, and a romantic soundtrack by the Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan, reinforce the healing and influential effect St. Francis had on his followers. The script contrasts Francis's piety and virtue with the bloated pomp of official Church doctrine, which is weighed down by internal politics. The film derives much of its strength from Faulkner as the young, battle-scarred nobleman laid low by his wartime experiences, who emerges from the horrors of conflict with a completely new and spiritual outlookon life. The film features a cast of gifted newcomers and screen veterans, including Judi Bowker (one of the most beautiful actresses of her generation), Leigh Lawson, Kenneth Cranham, Valentina Cortese, and Alec Guinness. With its distinctly counter-cultural feel, this unique film deserves to be treasured for its message of love and its cinematic beauty.

    Classic Italian Flick

    Franco Zeffirelli weaves a beautiful story, using his emphasis on closeups of eyes to convey meaning. This is a fictionalized account of the transformation of Francis of Assisi after his return from war, yet an enchanting story even so. The scenery is wonderful, the father is very funny in his frustration, the Bishop is obsequious, and the dissolute friends of Francis see the error of their ways. With songs by Donovan, this leans very closely to being a "Flower Child" movie. Francis had an emphasis on vows of poverty, and there are scenes of the poor people of Assisi flocking to the rebuilt church in the meadow, and the love of God being demonstrated through the lepers being bathed and fed, Zeffirelli creates the time and place in a realistic manner, even if there is a bit of sap ...

  • An Inspiration

    I knew nothing of the Zeffirelli or Francesco of Assisi before I watched this movie for the first time 20 or so years ago. Graham Faulkner's portrayal of Francis is unique and has been unspoiled, for me at least, having not seen him in his few other TV/film appearances. The film maker's interpretation of the conversion and early years of Saint Francis' ministry must truly be an inspired labor of love. Although many may label it a cult film, or link its flavor to the flower child era in which it was produced, the spiritual effect of its simple truths intensifies each time I see it. The lush scenery and lilting melodies beckon us to a simple life, to appreciate the beauty of God's creation around us. There is something indescribable about the whole thing that captures us, makes us wish we ...

  • Meaningful movie

    Good picture of one man leaving his old life challenging those around him to do the same. Some nudity and crude suggestive material that was unnecessary and inappropriate especially for children. So parents watch first! Memorable music.

  • Excellent movie!

    This has always been one of my favorite movies. Detailing part of the life of St. Francis of Assisi and Clare, it brings those historical figures to life. Highly recommended.
