#37. We Have a Pope
Director: Nanni Moretti
Writer(s): Francesco Piccolo, Federica Pontremoli and Moretti
Producers: Jean Labadie, Domenico Procacci and Moretti
Distributor: Rights Available.
The Gist: This is about a Pope (Michel Piccoli) who decides he doesn’t want the job as soon as he’s elected. Moretti will play a psychiatrist called in by the Vatican to resolve the problem….(more)
Cast: Nanni Moretti, Michel Piccoli and Margherita Buy.
List Worthy Reasons…: We’ve always appreciated Moretti’s commentary on Italy’s state, religion and politics and it’ll be rather interesting to see Moretti take jabs at all three with a dramatic discourse. We had this listed last year (at the number 56 spot) thinking it would surely be ready. It’s good to go.
Release Date/Status?: A Cannes launch is assured.
