Lentorama 2014: We're Ready for your Closeup, Your Holiness
Day 8: Joshua
This 2002 film that I'd never heard of is about a stranger who comes to a small town and begins to bring the community together and perform the odd miracle. The idea that he may be the second coming of Christ reaches the ears of the local priest, who lost a position at the Vatican and now dedicates himself to proving that Joshua is a fraud. I guess that would get him back into the Curia's good graces?
Anyway, veteran actor Giancarlo Giannini plays the pope, who winds up meeting Joshua and learns his true identity. F. Murray Abraham plays the suspicious local priest, and the pair of them being in this underscores that, in acting, sometimes it's just about getting paid.
