The Young Pope explores the contradictions of faith, and stars Jude Law in the title role. Here's the trailer...

“Who are you?" the first official teaser trailer for The Young Pope asks. The new pontiff, an American played by Jude Law, explains “I'm a contradiction. Like Mary, virgin and mother. Like man, good and evil. I'm God."
