Francesco's dream is a 2016 film directed by Renaud Fely and Arnaud Louvet. The film, of Franco-Italian-Belgian production, depicts the biographical events of Saint Francis of Assisi, interpreted by Elio Germano, with the formulation of his rule and therefore his struggle to see his dream affirmed.The film was shot between France and Umbria, the land of the saint of Assisi, with a cast almost predominantly Italian.The main theme of the film is the comparison between the divine inspiration of Francis and the political practicality of Brother Elia's friend from Cortona regarding the difficult drafting of the Franciscan rule, focusing in particular on the relationship that Brother Elia has with the founder of the order, that is, brotherly and sincere friendship, but which contrasts with the ideological vision.In Italy the film is distributed in cinemas for a limited period under the days of the saint's festivity.
