BOXSET of The Young Pope and The New Pope, both directed by Paolo Sorrentino.
The Young Pope
Lenny Belardo (Jude Law), aka Pius XIlI, 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 CoIIege of CardinaIs. But, as we know, appearances can be deceptive. EspecialIy in the place and among the peopIe who have chosen the great mystery of God as the guiding Iight 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 XIII 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 ContareIIo and Stefano Bises, The New Pope marks Sorrentino s second series set in the world 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 English aristocrat Sir John Brannox (John Malkovich) placed on the papal throne with the name John PauI lll. The new pope seems perfect, but he conceals secrets and a certain fragiIity. QuickIy, he begins to reaIise that it wiII not be easy to repIace the charismatic Pius XIlI who, hanging between life and death, has become a Saint with thousands of faithfuI foIlowers now idoIizing him. MeanwhiIe, the Church is under attack from several scandals that risk irreversibIy devastating the hierarchies of the Church, and the key principles of Christianity upon which they are based. As aIways, nothing is as it originaIly seems in the Vatican. Good and evil march arm in arm through this historic institution, right up until the finaI showdown... |
