Even today, many people are moved by his visionary message of universal toleration. Twelfth-century Italy had an exceptionally grim and regimented society, but the barefoot monk from Assisi undoubtedly had the courage that comes from deep faith and was able to transcend the oppressiveness of the time. In this Italian/British-produced film, director Franco Zeffirelli attempts to bring his vision of this great man to the screen. The contemporary (1970s) example of the hippie movement contributed a great deal to the style in which the story is told. The musical score, using ancient Italian melodies, was arranged by Donovan. The film is visually beautiful in a way which tends to minimize the squalor of the times. As the movie begins, Francis (Graham Faulkner) is the son of wealthy merchants, and enjoys his share of wine, women and song without serious thought</p> Amazon Video on Demand http://video.tvguide.com/Brother+Sun+Sister+Moon/Brother+Sun+Sister+Moon/877452?rss=object Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0500 <p><a href="http://video.tvguide.com/Brother+Sun+Sister+Moon/Brother+Sun+Sister+Moon/877452?rss=object"><img align="left" border="0" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/510VChdhrlL._SX320_SY240_.jpg" width="60" height="45" alt="Brother Sun, Sister Moon" style="margin:0 5px 5px" /></a>St. Francis of Assisi was an extraordinarily complex and difficult figure whose effect on his contemporary society was electrifying.
