Francesco, giullare di Dio

A pious 13th-century commune becomes a sandbox for divine mischief when Francis and his followers swap scripture for sunbeams. A dozen vignettes follow a troupe of real monks who accidentally invent modern saint-ology. Rossellini’s camera does what The Office does for workplace culture, but with more miracles.
