He touched so many during his life and continues to be a bastion of piety to this day.
Mickey Rourke wonderfully portrays St Francis of Assisi in a film that could have only been done to this caliber in the 80s.
From rich soldier to holy Saint; this picture shows a journey as physical as it is holy and does so splendidly by utilising it's framing and the structure of extended flashbacks.
I was awfully surprised that they decided to only mention St Francis' assignment to speak with the Saracens instead of showing the way he masterfully battled the cheif in a duel of sacred philosophy.
Overall it's a wonderful picture that I would recommend to anyone and everyone.
