"Exploring the Life of Padre Pio Through Film and Fiction"

The new film "Padre Pio," starring Shia LaBeouf and directed by Abel Ferrara, portrays the Italian friar in his early 20s ministering to the townspeople of San Giovanni Rotondo amid a violent political clash. The film includes scenes of demonic harassment and the saint's use of profanity. LaBeouf, who immersed himself in the monastery and town during filming, said the pressure of playing the role was enormous but added that he had never been on a set where the film felt easier to make. The film airs in theaters on June 2, 2023.
