The Popes Toilet

    Just wondering has anyone seen The Popes Toilet, I know it was released a while back, but it's currently in the Lighthouse Cinema.
    This charming and colourful work documents the wavering fortunes of a deprived Uruguayan family at the announcement of a 1988 visit by the Holy Father to their poverty-stricken village of Melo. Scraping together a meagre existence by smuggling contraband on a push-bike from a Brazilian border town, family patriarch Beto - with thinking-cap firmly in place - decides to cash in on the potential flurry of pious activity by building a first-class latrine into which the congregants can pay to relieve themselves.

    I'm heading to it this Thursday, feeling slightly disappointed with the current Multiplex movie offerings, so looking for something a bit more engaging, has anyone been to see it ?

    I saw this at the Glasgow FIlm Festival last year, it was quite enjoyable.

    Some of the humour is great, and its a nice little insight into how religion affects people in different ways.
