John Paul II Returns To Screens
‘John Paul the Second’, the American-Italian-Polish film co-production directed by John Kent Harrison is having its Polish premiere tonight in Krakow and Wadowice, the hometown of the late Pope.
The first screening of the Polish version is being attended by top state, Church and political figures. Among the guests of honor are the film’s director John Kent Harrison and actor Jon Voigt who plays the title role of the Polish born Pope. Contrary to the American and Italian version, which put greater stress on John Paul as a political leader, the Polish one focuses on the late Holy Father’s spiritual life.
