www.indiewire.com/2017/05/the-orchard-kings-lionsgate-dragged-across-concrete-oscilloscope-bobbi-jene-1201828832/Focus Features has acquired the documentary “Pope Francis – A Man of His Word.” Written and directed by three-time Academy Award nominee Wim Wenders, the film is only the second co-production that the Vatican has made with outside filmmakers and the first in which a Pope addresses the audience directly, discussing topics such as ecology, immigration, consumerism, and social justice. In “Pope Francis – A Man of His Word,” the Pope responds to questions submitted from around the globe. Exclusive footage from the Vatican’s archive shows the Pope on journeys, sharing his ideas and ideals in different parts of the world. “Whenever I think of Wenders’ poetics I see before me the angels that feature in Wings of Desire and Faraway, So Close! They are angels that, though perfectly pertinent to both the biblical and literary worlds, have very little in common with the devotional stereotype,” Msgr. Dario Edoardo Viganò, Prefect of the Secretariat for Communication of the Holy See, said in a statement. “Wenders is aware that it is how we view the world that makes it pure or impure: a burden of responsibility we are constantly aware of when watching his documentary works.”
