It is clearly different from the others. Its history, geography, area, low density of the civilian population, political system and attractions attract the attention of ordinary tourists, pilgrims and cultural figures. Therefore, films about the Vatican are not uncommon. In this article we will consider some of them.

"Angels and demons" (2009)

To describe the films about the Vatican, let's start with the picture, based on the novel by Dan Brown. It all started during the election of the new Pope. The whole world watches this event with a sinking heart, but the smoke from the pipe of the Sistine Chapel still does not go. It turns out that someone kidnapped the cardinals. Some have already been found, but dead. They were brutally murdered, and the bodies were marked with strange signs. To investigate this case, a specialist in semiotics arrives from the United States, Robert Langdon. Only he can understand what these marks mean.

But trouble does not come alone. At the same time, weapons that could destroy the whole city are missing from the nuclear research laboratory. Together with a laboratory collaborator, Vittoria Vetra, Dr. Langdon is going to visit the most secret places of the Vatican to find out who is behind these crimes.

"Rite" (2011)

Mystical thriller "Rite" is based on real events. Michael Kovak works with his father in the funeral home. But to continue his business is not going to, he chooses the ministry of the Church. Michael even graduates from the seminary in the United States, but he does not get faith, so he decides to give up the title of clergyman. The father-abbot believes that the guy should think about it, and sends him for two months in the Vatican to study exorcism.

Once there, the main character of the film "Rite" (2011) meets with the father of Lucas Trevent. He teaches him everything that he himself knows about the expulsion of essences from people. And then she shows a woman, in which, according to him, an evil spirit has settled. It seems to Michael that she is simply insane. But he does not yet understand how wrong his opinion is.

"John is a woman on the papal throne" (2009)

Some films about the Vatican show how far a person can go to achieve his goal. The picture tells of a girl from the family of a simple priest. From the very childhood she showed a craving for knowledge and wanted to know more than was necessary for women of that time.

Over time, John realized that all the necessary knowledge can be obtained in the church library. She cut her hair to look like a man, and took a new name - John Anglicus. After graduating from the church school for three years, John becomes so famous that he is made a doctor by the Pope himself. And after his death takes the throne. But how long can she deceive everyone?

"We have a dad!" (2012)

Despite the fact that almost all the films about the Vatican (art) are mystical, the comic genre is also present in them. The sudden death of the Pope makes the cardinals gather to elect a new pontiff. After several days of meetings, a vote is taken, as a result of which the choice falls on the elderly Cardinal Melville. He is not too happy about his appointment, so instead of going to the balcony to the believers, he closes in his chambers.

To solve his psychological problems, the psychoanalyst is invited to the Vatican. He spends several sessions, but can not help. Then they find a new specialist outside the city-state. Melville agrees, but only in order to take advantage of the situation and escape.

Vatican Records (2015)

It remains to pay attention to horror films about the Vatican. The rating of this picture is not too great, but it is not enough. After all, there is no dispute about tastes. It tells about a girl named Angela Holmes, who recently came to the conclusion that everyone who is next to her is in danger. In addition to doctors and psychiatrists, the unusual state of the girl attracts the attention of a local priest who is sure that there is a demonic force in her.

Rumors about this reach the Vatican, where they believe that the prediction comes true, which says that one day Satan will come to this world in the guise of an innocent victim. A group of cardinals is urgently sent out to be able to drive out the evil spirit. But will they be able to do this, because once this battle was already lost?

The Young Pope (2016)

The latest project about the Vatican will be the new popular TV series "Young Dad". There it is about the cardinal Lenny Belardo, who became the youngest Pope of Rome. And it did not happen by chance. With the help of intrigues, conspiracies and other manipulations, experienced cardinals arranged for his victory, hoping that they could control it from the shadow.

But all their dreams and hopes broke on the first day of his reign. Somehow they did not pay attention to his independent, hard, rebellious and wayward character. Of course, the cardinals had to admit their mistake, but they simply do not intend to retreat from their intended goals.
