Film in Minoriti: The Flowers of St. Francis
Director Roberto Rossellini and co-writer Federico Fellini lovingly present the universal lessons of Saint Francis of Assisi – humility, compassion, faith, and selflessness – through a series of joyful vignettes. The film, based on the medieval collection The Little Flowers of St. Francis, portrays episodes from the life of St. Francis and his brothers, focusing on their simple, humble, and spiritual way of living. Instead of a traditional biography, the film offers glimpses into moments where Francis and his followers express their faith through acts of love for people, nature, and God, finding joy in their spiritual devotion.
