Title: The Young Pope (2016)
Want to share IMDb's rating on your own site? Use the HTML below.
Young and charming, newly elected Pius XIII, aka Lenny Belardo, is the first American Pope in history. His ascension appears to be the result of a simple, effective media strategy implemented by the College of Cardinals. In the Vatican, however, the prevailing wisdom is the church's leaders have chosen a mysterious figure as their guiding force. And Pius XIII proves to be the most mysterious and contradictory of them all. As Belardo begins his reign, he is stubbornly resistant to the Vatican stewards, instead relying on Sister Mary to serve as his chief adviser. While she urges him to focus on leading his billion followers, the young pope shows little interest in making himself known, either to the College of Cardinals or to the masses. The 10-episode drama series stars Jude Law in the title role and Diane Keaton as Sister Mary, a nun from the U.S. now living in Vatican City.
There is nothing else like this.
Pro-Catholicism? Anti? None of the above.
This is beyond Catholicism. Beyond religion.
It asks all the questions and gives no simple answers, or obvious answers, or predictable answers, or even unchanging answers.
Or, in some instances, answers at all.
Is it about faith? Absolutely. But without any requirement or persuasion.
And the human condition.
About love. Acceptance. Justice.
Is it, really, even about the Pope?
Exquisitely shot in stunning surround. Did it put even one foot wrong? I would say yes. Keaton. But I still give it a ten.
