Film7.8KomediDram’Pamela’yı Takdim Edebilir miyim?’ adlı filmin çekimleri sırasında yaşanan acı-tatlı olayları beyazperdeye taşıyan öykü, sinema sanatının tüm zorluklarıyla boğuşarak hedefine ulaşmayı seçen yönetmen François Truffaut’nun, sinemaya ve sinemacılara bir saygı duruşu adeta. Film içindeki filmin yönetmenini Truffaut’nun bizzat kendisinin canlandırdığı yapım; makyözünden dublörüne, yapımcısından sahne amirine, yönetmen asistanından klaketçisine kadar bir filmin her alanında çalışan emekçilere adanmış izlenimi veriyor.

Film7.1DramTarihFrensisken Tarikatı'nın kurucusu. İtalyalı Aziz St. Francesco. "Erkek kardeş güneş, kız kardeş ay, erkek kardeş rüzgar ve kız kardeş nefes" diye betimlediği doğadaki görkem, azizin sahip olduğu varsıllığının ötesine geçer. Düşünmeyi bırakıp bir tercih yaptığında ise yasamış olduğu Ortaçağ'da çevresi tarafından aşağılanmasına ve deli olarak anılmasına neden olur. Onlara göre sefil, kendisine göre sadelik diye değerlendirdiği yaşam biçimi ve başarmak istediği şeyler, ölümünden sonra onu azizlik mertebesine taşır. Anlatmak istedikleri yaşadığı dönemde sonradan idrak edilir ve Papa tarafından takdirle karşılanır. Biyografik filmde, St. Damian Kilisesinin onarılması, Papa Innocence ile görüşmesi gibi Assisi'linin hayatında önemli olan hadiselerin anlatımının yanında, filmin görselliği ve müzikleri de azize yaraşır biçimde huzuru yansıtıyor, belki yaşadığı acılara daha fazla odaklanılabilir ve drama daha fazla ağırlık verilebilirdi ancak, film böylesi huzurlu bir anlatımdan mahrum kalırdı.
