In 1995, Pope John Paul II released the Vatican Film List – a list of forty-five films significant to the Catholic faith. Among them were the German Expressionist SciFi film, Metropolis (1927); the 1933 classic film adaption of Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, an early talkie whose cast includes a young Katharine Hepburn; and the 1922 adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula, Nosferatu. Alongside these films, a fourth, Roberto Benigni’s 1997 Life is Beautiful – which Pope Leo recently named as his favorite movie – will be screened in a film series that invites the audience to participate in a rich conversation about faith, film, and the cultivation of the interior life.
