Lentorama 2014: We're Ready for Your Closeup, Your Holiness
Day 20: Pope Joan
I read the book this was based on (OK novel, poor attempt at trying to make it historical fact). The short of it - an English woman raised in Germany manages to become pope, but has her gender discovered in a very public way with the sort of consequences you'd expect in the first millennium AD.
I've not heard of the German actress who played Joan, but I have heard of the actor who plays Pope Sergius; John Goodman. I would love to know how he wound up in that role in this movie, as he's really the only obvious Hollywood type in the picture.
