On today’s episode, Alex recommends alternative programming to the newly released Oscar-tipped Conclave, with another film about a new pope: Nanni Moretti’s 2011 film We Have a Pope. It’s fun and funny, a backstage movie that's still aware of the audience, and full of rich characters with actual motivations. Seeing Conclave made me wish I had been rewatching this instead.
For my thoughts on Conclave, check out my TIFF 2024 episode on the film.
