Agostino d'Ippona DVD.
Philosopher, bishop, theologian, saint, but above all a profound connoisseur of the motions of man's soul, Augustine of Hippo appears here in his most acute and brilliant portrait. The constant reference to reality that characterises Roberto Rossellini's work is also present in this film designed for television but directed with the same magnificence for the big screen. The director recounts the simple but faith-filled life of a saint close to man and shows the disruptive scope of the thought of a great Father of the Church by accompanying the camera into the heart of the facts and characters. A fundamental piece of Rossellini's work, which continues to express his poetics through the images and voices of the great figures who have made human history.
