The Two Popes

I'd seen this flashing up on Neflix a few times but only watched it today.

It's an excellent film, nominated for several awards. About the relationship between the outgoing Pope Benedict (played by Anthony Hopkins) and the Cardinal who became Pope Francis. The characters are perfectly cast and it's very well directed. Love the setting, but then you can't go wrong with Italy. It's a fictional account of course but it's difficult to separate truth from fiction. Very much recommended whether you are religious or not.

Re: The Two Popes

Thank you, Annie, will look out for that - didn't know they had even made a film about them.
