“The story is old. The details are spices of dusty legend. The tragedy of a Roman Church u0026quot;accidentu0026quot; is chapter of many conspiracy books. But, behind that things, u0026quot;Pope Joanu0026quot; is a beautiful film. And this fact is important.For costumes and atmosphere, for extraordinary John Goodman and for the art of details, for the basic fact than the IX-th century is another XXI century, for the perfume of serenity and the force of a myth to be stronger than reality. For the feeling than Joan exist without any testimony. For the spring air and grass smell. For the art to destroy clichés. For remember of essential values of human circle and the end as fly of ash bird. For the warm impression . Historic movie, it is in fact a parable. Like many who sleeps in our memories.”
