Stylized account of the life and spiritual travails of 13th-century saint Francis of Assisi (Mickey Rourke). Helena Bonham Carter. Father: Paolo Bonacelli. Mother: Andrea Ferreol. Pope Innocent III: Hanns Zischler. Ugolino: Mario Adorf. Co-scripted and directed by Liliana Cavani., Told in flashback, the film relates Francis of Assisi’s evolution from rich man’s son to religious humanitarian and eventually to full-fledged saint. Francesco was based on Hermann Hesse’s Francis of Assisi, which director Liliana Cavani had previously filmed in 1966. The Saint and founder of the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor is played by Mickey Rourke, and his inspiration, the woman who later became Saint Clare, is played by Helena Bonham Carter. Raised as the pampered son of a merchant, Francis goes off to war only to return with a profound horror for the society which generated such suffering. In one scene, as an act of renunciation, he strips himself of his fine clothing in front of his father and leaves the house naked and barefoot, joining the lepers and beggars in the poor section of town. The film follows with a series of episodes from the saint’s life rather than a coherent narrative, following up until his final days when he receives the stigmata, or wounds similar to those on the body of Jesus at the crucifixion.
