I took the vows of fast and silence . . .

"I took the vows of fast and silence for the sake of the role . . ."

Malgorzata Karnaszewska talks to Piotr Adamczyk, actor playing the main role in the film 'Story of Karol - Pope who remained a man'.

Malgorzata Karnaszewska: - How would you summarise the idea of the film about John Paul II?

Piotr Adamczyk: - I will repeat what Giacomo Battiato said, 'This film could be entitled 'Story of Karol -Pope of the suffering'. The film shows how the Pope reached out to the victims of conflicts, wars... How close to ordinary people he was. This is not only a report of his pontificate. I hope that this film will remind us of the resolutions, vows which we took at the moment of the death of John Pal II. I hope it will make us recollect those emotions. The recipe for a better world is simple and the Holy Father passed it to us...

- Did you take any vows then?

- Yes, like all people did.

- What was the most important thing for you while working on the film about the Pope?

- To continue the idea we had while shooting the first part: we wanted to make a portrait of an extraordinary man and his personality - without imitating or copying the Holy Father, but interpreting his figure. But it was much difficult to do in the second part of the film than the first one.

- Why?

- Playing young Karol Wojtyla I had some kind of freedom. Only a few pictures of that period were preserved, there were almost no documents. Playing the role of John Paul II I knew people would compare me to him. However, it is impossible to play this character. That's why we did not mean to make another documentary. But we rather wanted to paint a portrait that would remind us of the Holy Father. To show emotions, feelings, to touch his extraordinary personality. READ More from Catholic Sunday Weekly
