HABEMUS PAPAM

HABEMUS PAPAM: At last it has been released, the long-awaited film by Nanni Moretti (LA STANZA DEL FIGLIO, CARO DIARIO) “Habemus Papam”, “We Have a Pope”, starring Michel Piccoli, Nanni Moretti and Margherita Buy.
A Black Comedy of the kind not often seen in Italy; I was ready with my lightly salted popecorn (sorry could not resist) and loosely fitted clothing, barely resisting bringing my slippers, ready to spend the evening in blessed company. Well let me set the scene for you; Aci Reale, Sicily the film broke down as in lights being turned on 3 times during showing, a mobile went off 4 times, same person who noisily went outside to talk, then returned just as noisily to tell his friend about the conversation, one brave man said “zitti” to no avail, murder however wrong was tempting and really would have been the only solution, then we had the 8 minute intervallo with adverts, I kid you not.

Nanni Moretti is one of Italy's most original film directors of the last two decades, always independent in his way of thinking and in his film- making activity (he is a director, screenplay writer, producer, actor… a real self-sufficient). Few can be as ironic about modern society as he is, and his ability in telling stories and portraying true characters is unique. Thanks to cult-movies such as Ecce Bombo and Palombella Rossa, and original stories such as The Mass Is Ended or Bianca, Nanni Moretti has conquered an increasing audience in Italy, before eventually receiving international credit for Dear Diary, which amused and conquered audiences from France to the US.
