as part of a global festival run that includes Telluride, Toronto, Busan, London, Mumbai, Camerimage and AFI.

The film was made without the participation of the Vatican. “What we wanted from the Vatican was the possibility of shooting at St Peter’s Square and using some of their facilities, but we couldn’t,” says Meirelles. “They never allow cinema to use their facilities.
