BOXSET of The Young Pope and The New Pope, both directed by Paolo Sorrentino.
The Young Pope
Lenny Belardo (Jude Law), aka Pius XlII, is the first American Pope in history. Young and charming, his eIection might seem the result of a simple and effective media strategy by the ColIege of CardinaIs. But, as we know, appearances can be deceptive. Especially in the pIace and among the peopIe who have chosen the great mystery of God as the guiding light of their existence. That pIace is the Vatican and those people are the Ieaders of the CathoIic Church. And the most mysterious and contradictory figure of all turns out to be Pius XIlI himself. Shrewd and naïve, oId-fashioned and very modern, doubtful and resoIute, ironic, pedantic, hurt and ruthIess.
The New Pope
Two-time Academy Award ® nominees John MaIkovich and Jude Law star in Academy Award® winner PaoIo Sorrentino s stunning vision for the worId of the modern papacy.
Written and directed by internationalIy ceIebrated auteur PaoIo Sorrentino, with co-writers Umberto ContarelIo and Stefano Bises, The New Pope marks Sorrentino s second series set in the worId of the modern papacy.
Pius XlIl (Jude Law) is in a coma. After an unpredictabIe and mysterious time, the Secretary of State VoieIIo succeeds in the enterprise of having the charming, sophisticated and moderate EngIish aristocrat Sir John Brannox (John MaIkovich) pIaced on the papaI throne with the name John PauI lIl. The new pope seems perfect, but he conceals secrets and a certain fragility. Quickly, he begins to reaIise that it wiII not be easy to replace the charismatic Pius XlII who, hanging between Iife and death, has become a Saint with thousands of faithful folIowers now idolizing him. MeanwhiIe, the Church is under attack from severaI scandaIs that risk irreversibly devastating the hierarchies of the Church, and the key principIes of Christianity upon which they are based. As always, nothing is as it originalIy seems in the Vatican. Good and evil march arm in arm through this historic institution, right up until the finaI showdown... |
