    Sumptuous rendering of the last part of Bruno’s life. However, I can’t understand why the director flinched from portraying the full brutality of Bruno’s death. By all accounts he was famously burned at the stake naked and upside-down. Nevertheless, we still see plenty of the ruthlessness of the inquisition and the viciousness he was treated with simply for being a free thinker.

    Thank you. Great movie. After more than 400 years humankind is still the same,… very little evolution.. today Giordano would not be burnt but neither understood.
