Nanni Moretti On We Have A Pope

“I’m used to people talking about my movies without having seen them first. After it was released, at least people had seen it when they talked about it. It went over well in Europe, particularly Italy and France. People have expectations of my films, which I always try not to meet. Many people expected a frontal attack on the Vatican. But I didn’t want to do that. I believe cinema should surprise the audience; whatever they’re expecting is probably waiting for them at home on TV. Cinema should surprise people.”

“A lot of people bring bacon and Scotch. There’s a great tailgating scene at a lot of these colleges before the show. They put up different Ron Swanson banners, and they will be grilling different Ron Swanson meat items, like the Swanson. That’s a turkey leg wrapped in bacon, and I have to say it’s pretty delicious. What greater fan interaction could there be? This guy at Iowa State handed me a jalapeño Cheddar cheeseburger that he’d made, which I happily consumed, which fueled the comedy that he’d come to see. It’s all hakuna matata, part of life’s beautiful circle.”
