ABOUT THE TWO
POPES:
From
Fernando Meirelles, the Academy Award-nominated director of “City of God,” and
three-time Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Anthony McCarten, comes an
intimatestory of one of the most dramatic transitions of power in the
last 2,000 years. Frustrated with the direction of the church, Cardinal
Bergoglio (Jonathan Pryce) requests permission to retire in 2012 from Pope
Benedict (Anthony Hopkins). Instead, facing scandal and self-doubt, the
introspective Pope Benedict summons his harshest criticand future
successor to Rome to reveal a secret that would shake the foundations of the
Catholic Church. Behind Vatican walls, a struggle commences between both
tradition and progress, guilt and forgiveness, as these two very different men
confront elements from their pasts in order to find common ground and forge a
future for a billion followers around the world.
