Holy see: three of Pope Leo’s favourite films are divine. The fourth is hard to forgive

Pope Leo has revealed his favorite films ahead of a meeting with notable figures from the cinema world, including Cate Blanchett and Spike Lee. His preferred films are The Sound of Music, Ordinary People, and It’s a Wonderful Life, which he praises as divine. However, he expresses a negative stance towards Life is Beautiful, describing it as 'hard to forgive.' This meeting is part of the Vatican's ongoing effort to engage with the creative community and explore how artistic expression can align with the Church's mission and promote human values. The event highlights the Vatican's commitment to dialogue with the arts.
