The Young Pope (2016)
Surprisingly refreshing and original
15 November 2016 - 35 out of 45 users found this review helpful.
Entertaining. At first glance, seems like another arrogant attempt at modernity, but this impression fades rapidly with the clever writing and occasional unexpected turns.
What is refreshing: A pope depicted who actually searches, apparently struggles to find God and battles with his own conscience while sizing up and cutting down his subjects. Petulant, youthful, distrustful yet demanding respect and insisting on infallibility as an absolute sovereign...
Just like the Holy See's attitude and position in a world that has evolved beyond its teachings, but still does not fathom the danger in its unchecked political maneuverings.
What better example to express to the outside world the notion that any one of us can know God as we are known.
