1.0 out of 5 stars Minimaly Informed, January 9, 2002

This review is from: Padre Pio: Man of God [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I found this documentary lacking details about Padre Pio's most interesting life. I was given the impression, from the description of this item, that I would actually see excerpts of Padre Pio's talking, interpreted by one who spoke English. Unfortunately, There were none. Also you see only two faraway glimpses of the actual man, being helped to a podium to speak, but it was an insignificant amount of information and/or insight into the actual man and his beliefs. If you just want to take a tour of his bedroom, church, and hear some of his friends speak briefly about him, then it may be worth twenty dollars. Otherwize, get a book.

4.0 out of 5 stars In his own words...., May 22, 2002

This review is from: Padre Pio: Man of God [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This film is unique among the handful of videos on the market about Padre Pio because it presents the life of the soon-to-be-canonized Blessed Pio in his own words, read beautifully and effectively by Christopher Jones. It also features terrific footage shot on location at San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy.
