Flowers Of St. Francis, The (Criterion Collection Region 1) - Rossellini, Roberto
Releasedatum: 23 augustus 2005
In a series of simple and joyous vignettes, director Roberto Rossellini and co-writer Federico Fellini lovingly convey the universal teachings of the People’s Saint: humility, compassion, faith, and sacrifice.
