''Francesco'' is a 1989 docu-drama relating in flashback St. Francis of Assisi's evolution from rich man's son to religious humanitarian and finally to full-fledged saint. The film was based on Hermann Hesse's ''Francis of Assisi'', which director Liliana Cavani had previously filmed in 1966. It was shot in the Italian region of Abruzzo and it stars Mickey Rourke and Helena Bonham Carter. Greek composer, Vangelis, provided the musical score. 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. A series of episodes from Francis' life follows, rather than a coherent narrative, until his final days when he receives the stigmata, the wounds Christ suffered at the crucifixion. The film won three awards and was nominated for a fourth. Danilo Donati won the 1989 David di Donatello Award for Best Production Design, and the 1989 Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists Silver Ribbon also for Best Production Design. Fabio Bussotti won the Syndicate's Best Supporting Actor Award. Director Liliana Cavani was nominated for the Golden Palm at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Festival de Cannes: Francesco )〕 ==Cast== * Mickey Rourke - Francesco * Helena Bonham Carter - Chiara * Andréa Ferréol - Francesco's Mother (as Andrea Ferreol) * Nikolaus Dutsch - Cardinal Colonna * Peter Berling - Bishop Guido * Hanns Zischler - Pope Innocent III * Mario Adorf - Cardinal Ugolino * Paolo Bonacelli - Francesco's Father * Fabio Bussotti - Leone * Riccardo De Torrebruna - Pietro Cattani * Alexander Dubin - Angelo (as Alekander Dubin) * Edward Farrelly - Egidio * Paolo Proietti - Pacifico * Paco Reconti - Rufino * Diego Ribon - Bernardo di Quintavalle 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Francesco (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
