Lentorama 2014: We're Ready for Your Closeup, Your Holiness

Day 16: Vatican Conspiracy

Apparently this is a highly fictionalized riff on the death of John Paul I, wherein a religious hermit gets mixed up with terrorists and plans to kill the pope by poisoning (and not the sniper rifle that's being hefted by someone in the poster, apparently). There's nothing really notable about the film except that the pope is played by Terence Stamp, who seems like he'd be better suited to playing a Borgia pope.
