Brother Sun, Sister Moon
Stars: Alec Guinness, Graham Faulkner, Judi Bowker, Leigh Lawson, Lee MontagueDirector: Franco Zeffirelli
Summary: A film which follows the life of Saint Francis of Assisi who, on leaving his rich and comfortable family life, sought spiritual union with the natural world. Music composed and performed by Donovan.
Director Franco Zeffirelli brings his unique blend of inspired on-location photography, beautiful young actors, and moving spiritual energy to the story of Saint Francis of Assisi. Francesco (Graham Faulkner) is the spoiled son of a wealthy merchant until he renounces all his worldly possessions to live a simple life as a man of God. He gradually gains a large following, much to the dismay of the local bishop. With a lovely soundtrack by Donovan, and a distinctly counter-cultural feel, this is a unique film that deserves to be treasured for its message of love and its cinematic beauty.

It seemed like a good idea in 1973: a musical scored by Donovan about the life and times of St. Francis of Assisi, the passionate ascetic who expressed love for God by loving nature. But the finished product was something else. Filmmaker Franco Zeffirelli (Endless Love) makes a decorous effort at communicating the ideals of Francis and even tweaking the character toward flower-power relevance. But the result is feel-good fluff, a boring movie that doesn't penetrate its subject as much as reinvent him toward a modern bias. Graham Faulkner is entirely forgettable in the lead and Donovan's songs on this project aren't exactly first-rate, either. --Tom Keogh
