The Hand of God (BUFF 2020 throwback)

 After Loro and Young Pope, I was keen to see The Hand of God.  This film is a departure from Sorrentino's usual flair.  Since it was a film festival, but socially distanced, the director filmed an brief introduction to the film.  He says that the film is autobiographical, where the dwarf monk is his innocence and the flagrant director is his experienced self.  There is a scene of what the view might assume is his current self preaching to what he remembers as his naivety. 

The story's family, I think, are a collection of thoughts and memories through his journey toward experience.  I particularly like the sound of the offshore boats "touff, touff, touff".
