Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: Nanni Moretti’s We Have a Pope

#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.
