We Have a Pope

After a conclave of cardinals (Renato Scarpa, Franco Graziosi, et al.) elects a new pope and the new supreme pontiff (Michel Piccoli) has a nervous breakdown and is filled with self-doubt in this satirical, engaging, 2011 Italian film that cannot decide whether it's a drama or a comedy, a distraught Vatican spokesman (Jerzy Stuhr) quickly hires two psychoanalysts (Nanni Moretti and Margherita Buy) to help the new pope face his responsibilities and his worshipping, anxious public.
