WE HAVE A POPE is definitely another Italian film with a heart and soul. Written and directed by Palme d’Or winner Nanni Moretti, it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year and stars French actor Michel Piccoli. At the bottom you can have a first look at its trailer.
Melville (Michel Piccoli) is an elderly cardinal who finds himself elected as the next Pope. Unaware of the media pressure and unknown to the spotlight he panics when he is presented to the world at St. Peter’s Square. Facing a new situation, and in fear of a crisis among the faithful, the Vatican decides to hire an unlikely psychiatrist (Moretti) to help the newly elected Pope. The problem is that he is neither religious nor all that committed. A feel-good and quirky film, it will be opening in limited theatres April 6th.
