Restless Heart: The Confessions of Saint Augustine

Synopsis

"A few years ago, a made-for-TV film about the life of Augustine was broadcast in Italy. Now, a modified version of that film—in English, and trimmed down from 200 minutes to 130—has been released under the title Restless Heart: The Confessions of Augustine.
"The film begins in 430 AD, at the end of Augustine's life with his city, Hippo, under siege, and shows the story of his life through a series of long flashbacks. We see Augustine's humble beginnings in the north Africa town of Thagaste, his plunge into debauchery in Carthage, his early vainglorious pursuit of a career in rhetoric, his life-changing encounter with Ambrose of Milan, and of course Monica, his devoted and prayerful mother." [christianitytoday.com] Bishop Ambrose tells Augustine, "No, man doesn't find the truth. Man must let the truth find him. Because the truth is a person, Jesus Christ, the Son of God." That man was created in God's image does not mean that God has a body similar to ours, but that spiritually we were created in God's image.
