The New Pope

This series is simply a piece of art. I could write pages trying to explain why it represents the true meaning of love within the darkness of any religion. Be careful to listen closely the what they say, especially John Malkovich as Pope. The best movie I have seen in a long time. Bravo to Paolo Sorrentino!

The dismissive critics have no clue. This genius campy series discusses the issues of power and faith in the modern world of angst and loss and loneliness. The breakdown of modern society brought on by the rise of mass media and the utter ruthlessness of current world leaders reducing democracy to a sham is being ridiculed in an artistic manner. And where is god in all of that? That is the question all the characters struggle with. Brilliant dialogues. A must watch must ask yourself questions type of series... P.s... Had to add. Just finished episode 9. So many emotional moments during the last 3 episodes. The series is truly a work of love for belief and man and god. It doesn't need to im be reverent to truly reflect the positive elements of belief and being human. Almost to the contrary - using human frailty, vice and stupidity it is a celebration of what being human is all about and if i were the Catholic Church this would be the best promotion ever

Great topic, great script, acting, cinematography, lighting. Watching it, I experience flashes of Federico Fellini.

The images, cinematography, colors, architectural structure, sounds, music, the words, the humor, the subtleties, sheer beauty, sheer nastiness, the kinkyness,

It's breathtaking in every aspect.

Let it be breathtaking and beautiful without judging acting or storyline or whatever you might try to find to criticise Don't think just let it happen, it's amazing.

Sorrentino continues to unfold his directorial talent in an amazing sequel. A play with an excellent script and incredible symbolism shows the struggle with our own instincts through a comic version of a story that is enchanted in the Vatican. Jude Law and John Malkovich at one of their best acts
