THE TWO POPES
KEY ART DESIGNER NETFLIX FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION CAMPAIGN
An intimate story of one of the most dramatic transitions of power in the last 2,000 years. Frustrated with the direction of the church, Cardinal Bergoglio (Jonathan Pryce) requests permission to retire in 2012 from Pope Benedict (Anthony Hopkins). Instead, facing scandal and self-doubt, the introspective Pope Benedict summons his harshest critic and future successor to Rome to reveal a secret that would shake the foundations of the Catholic Church. At a key turning point for the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI forms a surprising friendship with the future Pope Francis.
Inspired by true events.
