Nanni Moretti’s film Habemus Papam (2011) will open on April 6th.  It tells the story of a newly elected pope who doesn’t want the job and has a psychological crisis.  It’s a very understated movie without a lot of action and a great performance by Michel Piccoli as the pope.  Moretti himself plays the psychoanalyst brought in to treat the pope as the world awaits an announcement from the Vatican. Through a twist of events the pope manages to flee the Vatican and wanders around Rome. There are some great scenes, most notably of cardinals playing volleyball, a tournament organized by Moretti’s character.  Although there are comic moments, as in all Moretti’s movies, it’s not a real comedy and the ending reminds us of the human being behind the titles or positions.
