Well worth watching is Roberto Rossellini's Augustine of Hippo, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072617/reviews?ref_=tt_ov_rt
"Roberto Rossellini directed a string of biographies in the 1960s and early 70s, all of which revolved around famous historical figures (Christ, Pascal, Descartes, Socrates, St Francis, St Augustine, King Louis XIV, Giuseppe Garbaldi, and one unrealized project about Marx), and all of which utilized a sparse, stripped down aesthetic which revoked the pomp and pageantry typically ascribed to such characters."
