About this product

Product Information

Conceived and executed in much the same visual manner as his ultra-popularROMEO AND JULIET (1968), Franco Zeffirelli's BROTHER SUN SISTER MOON attempts to draw parallels between the work and philosophy of St. Francisand the ideology that underpinned the worldwide hippie movement throughoutthe 1960s and early '70s. Zeffirelli's signature lush photography and use ofreal architecture and settings enhances the story of this great historicalfigure, played by young British newcomer Graham Faulkner.Francesco, the spoiled son of a wealthy merchant, renounces all his worldlypossessions to live a simple life as a man of God. Much to the dismay of the local bishop, he gradually gains a large following. The cinematography, editing, and a romantic soundtrack by the Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan, reinforce the healing and influential effect St. Francis had on his followers. The script contrasts Francis's piety and virtue with the bloated pomp of official Church doctrine, which is weighed down by internal politics. The film derives much of its strength from Faulkner as the young, battle-scarred nobleman laid low by his wartime experiences, who emerges from the horrors of conflict with a completely new and spiritual outlookon life. The film features a cast of gifted newcomers and screen veterans, including Judi Bowker (one of the most beautiful actresses of her generation), Leigh Lawson, Kenneth Cranham, Valentina Cortese, and Alec Guinness. With its distinctly counter-cultural feel, this unique film deserves to be treasured for its message of love and its cinematic beauty.

  • Deeply beautiful and inspiring - a total joy to behold!

    This is by far the best, most inspiring, and most realistic movie I have ever seen about Saint Francis of Assisi. It tells of his beginnings, his friendship with Saint Clare, how he rebuilt the church of San Damiano, and at last received a special blessing from Pope Innocent III. All of the actors and actresses are perfectly cast, particularly Graham Faulkner as Francis and Judi Bowker as Clare, and it is truly like witnessing that period of history eight-hundred years ago. The songs by Donovan are wonderful and add a deep emotional and spiritual ambiance to the scenes. The video tape is high quality and recorded at two-hour speed, while the 120 minutes of the movie whiz by like a summer breeze. I would highly recommend this to anyone seeking God or searching for a special purpose in ...

  • Holy moly..good show.

  • Awesome product--great value for the money...

    I have seen this movie on the History channel prior to ordering it. Was so excited to recieve it--I am now able to watch it repeatedly.. It is truly a movie that is encouraging and inspiring over and over again. Every time I watch it, it takes me to a greater place in my life.

  • Brother Sun, Sister Moon (1993, VHS)

    I purchased this movie because I remember being very moved by it when I first saw the story in the 1980's. It didn't have the same impact as it did then. (Maybe I saw a different version???) However, I am glad I bought this one.
