He has mentioned over the years that he is a huge movie buff (he loves “Babette’s Feast,” possibly the first film to make it into a post-synodal apostolic exhortation), with a special place in his heart for Italian directors Mario Camerini, Federico Fellini, Alessandro Manzoni, Roberto Rosselini and Luchino Visconti.

America’s staff and contributors to suggest a film Francis might add to his Netflix queue. (Although we are fully aware he doesn’t have a Netflix subscription. He reportedly doesn’t watch TV!)
