Today, a bit of religious biography.

Le métis de Dieu / The Jewish Cardinal (2014)

At least I think it is a true story

Converted at 14, he went up the hierarchy of the Church and made it to the top when there was a Polish Pope.

It is a very good film whether religious politics are of interest to you/me or not.

I liked it, it was a good story. Value conflicts overcome, personal courage displayed, family issues resolved.

There is not a whole lot to say. The film mercifully throttles down on the theology and makes it a human interest story.>p> Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet plays a young priest. He shows up in a lot of my favorite films lately. First seen in Love Songs as a young gay man.

Good to see, a 3 out of Netflix5.
