A Brilliant and beautiful depiction of one of our greatest saints!

Michele Placido is a brilliant actor who delves into the inner sanctum of Beloved Padre Pio's life of suffering and joy. Both Miracle Man with Sergio Castellitto and Between Heaven and Earth with Michele Placido illustrate the life of Padre Pio with great insight and both are masterpieces -- they were made in the same year with Heaven and Earth the later offering. They cover different aspects of Padre Pio's life (although of course there is overlap) One needs to see BOTH and view both movies in Italian with English subtitles (the dubbing of English voices is always a waste of your time-- listen in the original language)!! Bravo! Fantastico Michele Placido!! Michele Placido is a brilliant actor who delves into the inner sanctum of Beloved Padre Pio's life of suffering and joy.

A good movie, different from "Miracle man", but not as good as it in my opinion.
