Following his sudden heart attack, Pope Pius XIII lies in a coma while his followers fervently pray for a miraculous recovery. As the threat of terrorism and the potential risks of Pius's idolatry loom, Secretary of State Cardinal Voiello is pressured to bring a new pope to power and, with the conclave at a deadlock, makes a hasty move that throws the Church into even greater chaos.

The visual mannerisms are so intense that I felt the urge to throw the TV out the window. But what can I say, Sorrentino may be a poser who is into colors and playing with the camera, but in the end, I gave in after half an hour of sintering and started to enjoy it in full. The drive of the last ten minutes is like it was made by Greengrass. I'm guessing very good...
