The Two Popes

And they are right: director Fernando Meirelles ('Cidade de Deus', 'The Constant Gardener') saw the unique possibility in this material, and made this film about two still living popes, the retired Benedict XVI and his successor, Pope Francis. The subject it tackles (the clash between strict conservatism and 'liberal' futurism) would be interesting in itself, and the excellent actors (Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Pryce) make 'The Two Popes' a really enjoyable cinema experience as they both shine in their roles. So, as 'Frost/Nixon' once proved to the audience, biographical films can be just as entertaining as any other genre, and those who liked it won't be disappointed in 'The Two Popes'. And as for the OST, don't forget to admire Mercedes Sosa's beautifully sung 'Cuando tenga la tierra'.
