I watched this film with my Polish girlfriend this morning in a cinema in Krakow... It was dubbed in Polish, so I didn't understand a word that was said (apart from the very basics), but I really enjoyed it all the same...
A very simple and moving story about a honest man who believed in love and peace - simple as that... I am not a catholic (and never will be), but I was really moved by his story...
Jon Voight did a great job as the older pope - could really feel his frustration as the Parkinsons syndrome took hold...
By the way they are going mad about this in Poland - cinema was full at 10.45am on a Monday morning...
Many Thanks to my girlfriend who did her very best to translate for me! You should have seen the look of horror on her face when she realised it was dubbed in Polish and not polish sub-titles!
