In his delirium from his return from war, Francesco Bernardone goes back in his memories to the days when he lived for parties and carnal pleasures. He slowly recovers, but after the illness he is no longer the Francesco that everybody knew. Instead of spending hours in taverns, he meditates on the beauty of God's creatures, soon renouncing his riches and his family with plans to rebuild an abandoned church and his life.

**“Throw it all away! It’s so simple; be free!”
**
Francis was like fuck you dad, got naked, and hung out with lepers, so as far as religious figures go, he was pretty Interesting, and this hippie-leaning adaptation was made by the same guy who made that strangely awesome version of Romeo & Juliet they made you watch in school. If that wasn’t alluring enough; the music is by Donovan. 
Franco Zeffirelli loves like rich, languid, slow shots and unsettling angles and so 👏🏻 do 👏🏻 I 👏🏻.
I wanted it to get even weirder, but all in all, definitely worth the 75 cents I paid for the vhs. I think it will become one of my regular rotations.
