The Young Pope
From Paolo Sorrentino, director of 'The Great Beauty' and 'Youth', 'The Young Pope' tells the controversial story of the beginning of Pius XIII's pontificate. Born Lenny Belardo, he is a complex and conflicted character, so conservative in his choices as to border on obscurantism, yet full of compassion towards the weak and poor. The first American pope, Pius XIII is a man of great power who is stubbornly resistant to the Vatican courtiers, unconcerned with the implications to his authority. The ten-episode series stars Jude Law as Pius XIII, and Diane Keaton as Sister Mary, a nun from the U.S. now living in Vatican City.
