Fox Searchlight chairmen Nancy Utley and Stephen Gilula confirmed the private screening for dignitaries in the Vatican Film Library event space. It was introduced by Paolo Ruffini, Prefect of the Dicastery of Communications, and Malick was in attendance.
“We thank Terrence Malick for being here and sharing this moment with us,” he said. “The narrative of the film is at the same time beautiful and terrible, and it is a challenge because we are brought to face our souls, our consciences, our fears, our forgetfulness and our avoidance of responsibilities. This narrative overturns the rhetoric of heroism, because it tells of a hidden hero, in a film which speaks of love, of consistency, of death and resurrection.
August Diehl stars as Jägerstätter and Valerie Pachner plays his wife Fani. When the Austrian farmer is faced with the threat of execution for treason, it is his unwavering faith and his love for her and their children that keeps his spirit alive.Very few films have been accepted to screen at the Vatican prior to their release. The pic, which bowed earlier this year at Cannes, hits U.S. screens on December 13.
