For the first time since 1415, the Pope is retiring. Pope Benedict XVI says his declining health and elderly age now means that he is incapable of the job, but what happens when a newly elected pope is simply riddled with self-doubt? Well that question is explored with wit and a deft touch in We Have A Pope.
In Nanni Moretti’s inventive We Have A Pope, the newly elected Pope suffers a panic attack just as he is due to appear on St Peter’s balcony to greet the faithful who have been patiently awaiting the conclave’s decision. His advisors, unable to convince him he is the right man for the job, seek help from a renowned psychiatrist (and atheist)…
Starring Michel Piccoli (Strange Affair, Milou en Mai, Contempt) and directed by Nanni Moretti (The Son’s Room, The Caiman, Caro Diario) – who also plays the wonderful role of psychoanalyst – the warm and funny We Have A Pope was nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.
