The Young Pope 2017 Season 1 Menu Art - Jude Law, Diane Keaton, Silvio Orlando, Javier Cámara

Описание: The Young Pope is a satirical drama television series created and directed by Paolo Sorrentino for Sky Atlantic, HBO, and Canal+. The series stars Jude Law as the disruptive Pope Pius XIII and Diane Keaton as his confidante, Sister Mary, in a Vatican full of intrigues.[1] The series was co-produced by the European production companies Wildside, Haut et Court TV and Mediapro.

The world premiere of The Young Pope was on 3 September 2016 at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival, where the first two episodes were screened out of competition, the first time in the history of the festival that a TV series has been a part of the program.[2] The series premiered on television on 21 October 2016 on Sky Atlantic in Italy.

The Young Pope was originally designed as a limited series, and was marketed as such, especially in the United States.[3] However, it was later followed by The New Pope, with Law returning and joined by John Malkovich.[4] Production began in Italy in late 2018.[5]

On 14 July 2017, The Young Pope received two nominations for the 69th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, becoming the first Italian TV series to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award.[6]

Plot
A young cardinal from New York City, Lenny Belardo, becomes the pope, the head of the Catholic Church, when the leading contenders of the papal conclave fail to win election. Installed as a compromise candidate, Belardo takes the papal name Pius XIII and immediately proceeds to challenge the established traditions and practices of the Vatican. In one of his first acts he decrees that common people are not worthy to gaze upon the pope's face, and appears to the public on the balcony of St Peter's Basilica shrouded in darkness. Next, during a meeting with the Cardinal Secretary of State, the pope states he will now become directly involved in the political affairs of the Vatican, effectively assuming control of the Secretariat of State of the Holy See.

Alarmed by his radical changes to the Church, several senior cardinals begin a plan to try to control the pope and dissuade him from even more ideas dangerous to the Church. In response the pope installs Sister Mary, the nun who raised him in an orphanage, to serve as his chief adviser, and he publicly denounces several cardinals. He likewise threatens to confiscate all the property of various religious orders, in particular the Franciscans, if they do not accept his unquestioned leadership. Following this, the pope directs that the papal tiara of Pope Paul VI is to be removed from the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. and returned to the Vatican as his personal crown.

In a last-ditch effort to rein in the pope, the cardinals arrange a meeting between him and the prime minister of Italy, who is subsequently bullied by the pope and threatened with an archaic papal procedure allowing the Church to direct Italian Catholics not to vote in general elections. Amidst fears that at this point the pope is trying to restore the Papal States, it is then discovered he is suffering from massive depression and that all his actions have been driven by his desire to confront his parents, who abandoned him as a boy.
