Franco Zeffirelli is responsible for three of the greatest films ever made: 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Jesus of Nazareth' and 'Brother Sun, Sister Moon'. This film displays Zeffirelli's genius at it's clearest and is a perfect amalgamation of his other two films, 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'Jesus of Narareth'. Ennio Guarnieri's photography is amazing. Any single frame is this movie is a work of art that could be framed and hung up on a wall. Like in his previous film 'Romeo and Juliet', Zeffirelli brings a a sense of urgency to this film. Donovan's music is beautiful even though he only wrote four of the songs. The rest of the songs, including 'Brother Sun, Sister Moon' were written by Italian composer Riz Ortolani. If you love 'Romeo and Juliet' or 'Jesus of Nazareth' you'll love this film.
