Description

How is something so slow, so tense? This movie is pure Oscar bait with plot, names, and cinematography. The camera lingers on moments both grand a small to draw the viewer into the dochotomy between the holy and spiritual world populated by small and very flawed men. Isabella Rosalini is the only women with a speaking role, while many other women are on screen; highlighting the narrowness of the Vatican's world.
