Plot Summary

Director Franco Zeffirelli's Brother Sun, Sister Moon focuses on the early years of Francis of Assisi, who sought communion with the natural world by renouncing his family's riches to seek his own destiny unencumbered by material possessions.

Comments

Francis was, in a sense, history's first "drop-out": he left a life of comfort to seeks a spiritual union with the world. Brother Sun, Sister Moon is an uncommonly rewarding and meaningful film experience.
