Padre Pio

Newly Added • 1h 44m

Directed by Abel Ferrara • 2022 • Italy, Germany, United Kingdom
Starring Shia LaBeouf, Marco Leonardi, Salvatore Ruocco

With this impassioned biography of revered Catholic mystic Padre Pio, director Abel Ferrara brings the spiritual dimensions long inherent in his work to the fore. In post–World War I Italy, Franciscan monk Padre Pio (Shia LaBeouf) arrives in the small town of San Giovanni Rotondo, where he wrestles with the divine torment of his faith—culminating in a confrontation with the devil and the appearance of the stigmata—as well as the human evils of corruption and inequality.
