New Showbiz Analysis

Ermanno Olmi’s documentary is a humanist character study centered on Carlo Martini’s life. It examines individual conscience against the backdrop of Italy’s socio-political upheavals, including terrorism and political corruption. The film’s strength lies in its exploration of individual ability to act and its critique of institutional rigidity. It provides a nuanced look at spirituality through a non-dogmatic lens. However, the film lacks demographic breadth. It focuses heavily on a single male protagonist and does not address LGBTQ+ identities, racial the way different parts of someone's identity overlap, or disability.

Official Synopsis

The film is the personal story of a protagonist of our times and traces Carlo Martini's actions and thoughts, as he has remained faithful to its vocation and ideals. Through dramatic events (terrorism, Tangentopoli, labor crisis, conflict, loneliness) Carlo Martini interpreted losses and concerns of the people, who saw a free man and a non dogmatic prince of the Gospel Church. Thanks to the authenticity of his testimony he has been a reference point for believers and non-believers, a prophet of hope, a forerunner of Pope Francis.
