I actually think the film has a lot of similarities with Albert Camus' Outsider, especially its discussion of death and the mundane.

Italian cultural cues

This is the second time I've watched this movie, and it finally got English subtitles, and I watched it with Italian friends. Compared to the first time I listened to the French subtitles of the Italian original sound, I understood a lot this time. And after that, I discussed a lot with my Italian friends, they told me a lot about the Italian classics, pop culture, Rome, etc. in the film. They will have more communication with this film.

The first 20 minutes of the film are very beautiful, one scene after another, the city that never sleeps. Always in Rome. Tourists are the best. Travel is an illusion. For Sorrentino, the transition from this "stunning city" to the "young and energetic" and "young Pope" behind it is so natural and logical. However, it must be emphasized that after Fellini, everyone's Rome is Fellini's Rome.

There is no resistance to "slow, beautiful and gorgeous" star man. Also love the sarcasm and humor in it. It's sad to see it on the big screen. (When can the big screen brush to the soul of Venice and Barry Lyndon can die)
