Actor Jonathan Pryce hopes Pope Francis is amused by ‘Two Popes’
LONDON - Director Fernando Meirelles is a fan of Pope Francis but says his new film, which tries to get into the head of the Argentine pontiff, also shows some of his weaknesses.
“I did the film because I’m a big fan of Pope Francis. I think he’s a very important voice in the world today,” Meirelles said at the London film festival on Monday. “It’s very honest. We show the mistakes that he’s done some 30 years ago in Argentina. But in the end, he comes across like somebody we should support,” the Brazilian filmmaker said.
“It was just such a great character to play, showing his flaws and his weaknesses as well as his very positive strengths and what he can do as a kind of leader which we desperately need in political life these days; someone who can show us the way and show us how to live and go back to the old Christian values,” Pryce said.
