This is an excellent film, thought provoking, and beautiful portrayal of the life of Francis of Assisi. People sometimes criticise the film for the "flower power" scene with the music of Donovan in the background and it is perhaps a little over the top. But it is nevertheless perhaps a good modern take on the message of Francis regarding the love of and respect for nature. The music strikes a chord with the period in which it was made and anyway to focus simply on that one scene and avoid the rest of a finely crafted and beautiful take on the life of Francis and his challenge (still) to the materialism of the life of his time and our own - this makes for an excellent film. Hugely recommended. Out on DVD at last!!
score 9/10
