ROME — A newly elected pope seized by panic turns to a psychoanalyst for help in Italian director Nanni Moretti's latest comedy, "Habemus Papam", selected Thursday to compete at the Cannes film festival.
Things get off to a good start for cardinal Melville, played by French actor Michel Piccoli: initially an outsider in the papal race, his modest appearance and calm manner persuade the voting cardinals that he is the man for the job.
But as the enormity of the task grows on him, the cardinal becomes increasingly agitated and at the announcement "We have a Pope!" he rushes off, leaving the famous balcony in St. Peter's square empty as the crowds stare.
