In 2012, Pope Benedict (Anthony Hopkins) summons Cardinal Bergoglio (Jonathan Pryce), a prominent critic of his conservative stewardship and the scandals of the Catholic Church to try to find a compromise between tradition and progress. When Pope Benedict renounces his papacy, a new pope must be elected and Cardinal Bergoglio becomes Pope Francis. Also with Juan Minujín and Sidney Cole. Directed by Fernando Meirelles. Several lines of dialogue are spoken in Latin without translation and others are spoken in Spanish, German, French, Portuguese and Italian with English subtitles. [Running Time: 2:05 . . .
