We Have A Pope

Nanni Moretti (THE SON'S ROOM; CARO DIARIO) joins forces with the great French actor Michel Piccoli (CONTEMPT; I'M GOING HOME) to tell the story of Melville; a cardinal who suddenly finds himself elected as the next Pope. Never the front runner and completely caught off guard; he panics as he's presented to the faithful in St. Peter's Square. To prevent a world wide crisis; the Vatican's spokesman calls in an unlikely psychiatrist who is neither religious or all that committed; played by Moretti; to find out what is wrong with the new Pope. As the world nervously waits outside; inside the therapist tries to find a solution. But Cardinal Melville is adamant: he does not want the job; or at least needs time to think it over. What follows is a marvelous insight into the concept of a human being existing behind the title of Godas representative on Earth. WE HAVE A POPE is the latest film by Moretti to make wonderful use of humor while dealing with serious issues and continue to showcase his deep humanism.
