The story claims to have been a woman Pope. Such a confession demands a strong striking power for me. A woman has attained the highest degree that a man can aspire in religious career. Now would not hurt to ask if it really existed or has been the product of someone's imagination frustrated.
's rise to power of this woman was built through the years as a legend that has not been fully confirmed. Donna Woolfolk, an American writer is given the task of making a book about the mysterious woman that entry to this sacred place.
not enter religious disquisitions of any kind is what we should aim to firmly, but not what you want today. Having a Catholic background has influenced you find these stories interesting, although I confess to not being an avid reader of the Bible, its precepts are traveling with me since childhood.
My deep understanding of the Catholic religion and its precepts have been cracked by individuals at different levels, including writers like Saramago with his "Cain" and Dan Brown, from "Da Vinci Code", among others, tells how Mary Magdalene was the principal heir of the Catholic Church. Reflect the changes that the institution had suffered in the event that a woman was the leader, would represent all heretical magic to the world.
This is a film that holds all the keys perfect for it to work: a virtually unknown actress to Hollywood in the lead role, a script that evolves as the story progresses, a German director Sonke Wortman, turning points that catch the instant attention of the viewer. 180 minutes to go flying through the maintenance of a guideline not too hard, too dark, which simply seeks to tell a story well told.
The same production company to the success of the great novel by Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose ", he embarks on this story where a woman is carried to the throne of the supreme pontiff of the earth disguised as a man . It is important to emphasize that in the ninth century women were forbidden to grasp some kind of knowledge. Was said was "unnatural" and that they "shrank the uterus" and could not produce offspring.
If I can not claim a perfect acting assembly, at least assert that the main action is masterfully conducted by a German Johanna Wokalek clearly androgynous features, selected after Franka Potente declined the role. The rest of actions will make the counter, and while not represent equality, at least not gloss over the main.
The importance of this film, beyond technical design, (which is equally brilliant) lies in pointing out potential spaces with minutiae heretical historians seek to hide at all costs. What if this had some real legend and that woman was removed from the book? Is it possible in the future the inclusion of a High Priestess in the Catholic religion? What would the papacy of this? Scene
not to miss: The early life of Pope Joan.
My recommendation: For further clarification of this story look for the legend in advance so you can understand the importance of its story line.
