2011105 min6.8 / 10

A thoughtful, gently comedic exploration of faith, doubt, and personal crisis centered on a newly elected Pope's psychological struggle with his calling.

The newly elected Pope suffers a panic attack just as he is about to greet the faithful who have gathered to see him. His advisors, unable to convince him he is the right man for the job, call on a renowned therapist who also happens to be an atheist. But the Pope's fear of his newfound responsibility is one he must face alone. Winner Best Film at the Italian Golden Globes.
