Profile of Habemus Papam

Habemus Papam can be described as clever, witty, and sentimental. The plot revolves around the clergy, religions or cults, and introspection. Its comic aspect comes from satire.

It takes place in contemporary times.

Summary of Habemus Papam

The film begins with the funeral of an unnamed pope (Moretti chose the real footage of the funeral of John Paul II) and all the cardinals have to gather in the Sistine Chapel in order to elect the new pope. Journalists assume that cardinal Gregori will be elected but cardinal Melville is surprisingly elected. They ask him "Do you wish to be the new pope?" and, first he doesn't even answer, then they ask again and they go on as if he accepted. The oldest cardinal goes to the balcony to announce the new pope but he has to stop when he hears the scream of cardinal Melville.

Cute comic tale
With nice concept and beautiful photography, this Nanni Moretti film is fun to watch, although it does not exploit the comic possibilities to their fullest.
