Papa Francisco: The Pope Francis Story is a film about a journalist who discovers the real person behind the man who is to become Pope.
The most challenging shoot is of course, the Papal Conclave. It is excellently done. But the main advantage of the story is the compelling script that aims to come closer to the very heart of the present Pope Francis. This is the gauge of the success of the film.
The movie explores not only the process of choosing the pope which is admittedly a mystery for the rest of the Catholic world, but of a far greater mystery - how the Holy Spirit molds each person towards interior conversion until he becomes an instrument even for unbelievers, corrupt systems, and yes, even the entire Church. This film portrayed by one man, can indeed be the story of our struggles to live out and be authentic witnesses of the Faith.
Showing this September 30, 2015. Highly recommended.
Rating: 5/5
