Where to Watch The Flowers of St. Francis (1950) in the UK

What it's about

The film dramatizes about a dozen vignettes from the life of St. Francis and his early followers, starting with their return in the rain to Rivotorlo from Rome when the Pope blessed their Rule, and ending with their dispersal to preach. The unconnected chapters are like parables, some with a moral. The slight, comic Ginepro returns naked to St. Mary's of the Angels, having given away his tunic but not his ricotta. The aged Giovanni shouts and holds onto his cape; the beatific St. Clair pays a visit. Humble Francis doubts his leadership, hugs a leper, and sends his brothers spinning, dizzy, and smiling into the world. This brotherhood is infused with whimsy as well as belief.
