The newly elected Pope suffers a panic attack just as he is due to appear on St Peter’s balcony to greet the faithful, who have been patiently awaiting the conclave’s decision.
His advisors, unable to convince him he is the right man for the job, seek help from a renowned psychoanalyst (and atheist). But his fear of the responsibility suddenly thrust upon him is one that he must face on his own.
"So far, so funny and, of course, WE HAVE A POPE is shot through with the director’s great humour and wicked satirical eye: witness the stir-crazy cardinals’ basketball tournament, organised by Moretti’s mischievous shrink. But this is far more than a sort of ’Carry on up the Vatican’. Nor is WE HAVE A POPE a crude diatribe on contemporary Catholicism, notwithstanding attacks by various Italian religious authorities to suggest otherwise. Instead, Moretti’s first film since his Berlusconibashing "The Cayman" is a wry, subtle and moving story of one man’s faltering faith and fear of ultimate authority, that also reflects powerfully on the institutional face of the Catholic religion."
