    • Trivia
      In February 2017, 'The Sultan and the Saint' was awarded as Best Film on Religion in Calcutta International Cult Film Festival, in India.
    • Goofs
      A little over sixteen minutes into the film, the words Francis speaks when first beginning to preach in the streets pretty much quote the so-called "Prayer of Saint Francis," and this famous prayer has long been attributed to Francis. However, no proof exists that Francis ever composed or spoke these words. Its origin has been traced back to 1912 when it was first printed in a Catholic magazine in France. It presumably became associated with Francis because of characterizing in prayer form the basic spiritual values that he embraced.
    • Crazy credits
      Assuming this movie story is based on the book "The Saint and the Sultan" (same story) why was the name changed to The Sultan and the Saint?

    start point
    A delicate theme. The voice of Jeremy Irons. A story for present, proposing a not easy message to contemporary society. So, the controversies are not surprising. From the stat of manifesto, for a part of public, to the historical accuracy and eulogy of Islam or Catholic Church. In fact, it is just a start point. For see, in new way, the near reality. Sure, it can be perceived as a fairy tale or as propaganda, or as polite work. But it represents a real start point. And it is enough.
