He was St. Anthony, called “Antonio” in this movie which features English subtitles. Jordi Molla gives a stupendous performance as the saint who was not afraid to speak his mind to the corrupt leaders of his day. He lived such an extraordinary life, which reflected Christ, that he was named a saint only eleven months following his death. He spoke against the wealth of the pious and fought for the rights of those who languished in poverty.
There are wonderful themes of living a humble and simple life hidden in Christ. The movie contains a few violent scenes which feature the spilling of blood as well as a fairly graphic scene in which a man hangs and his daughter sees him and cries out, “Daddy”. For these reasons we are recommending the film for our Dove “Faith-Based” seal with a caution for violence.
