THE TWO POPES
Recommended. It's just beautiful. Superb cinematography strikes you from the start. And content follows. The film, with documentary insertions, is deep in its deliberations on being just and on the Church to the point where it moves you profoundly a few times. But it's also entertaining throughout contrast personalities, with the easy-going Cardinal Vergogno being an absolute delight. It's a tale of imperfect popes. The three lead actors: Jonathan Pryce, Anthony Hopkins and Juan Minujín are exquisite. Dalida's hit "Ciao Bella" is sung by Swingle Brothers - choral church-like interpretation. The ending comprising of several mid- and one post-credit is brilliant.
A SHAUN THE SHEEP MOVIE: FARMAGEDDON
Watchable. Just like previously in the series, there's no dialogue. In Polish cinemas only the final song is in Polish. The rest of the music is fun. The film is on the silly side. The sheep play antics all the time. The dog drinks from a cup with a bone picture. The aliens are friendly. Yet the story's eventful and complex. John Williams' theme from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" can be heard in one of the scenes. In the closing credits you read that "No sheep were probed during the making of this film." There's a brief post-credit.
