The story revolves around a G8 meeting, held at a luxury hotel on the German coast, where the world’s most powerful economists are gathered to enact important provisions that will deeply influence the world economy. One of the guests is a mysterious Italian monk (Servillo), invited by Daniel Rochè (Auteuil), the director of the International Monetary Fund. He wants the monk to receive his confession, that night, in secret. But the next morning, Rochè is found dead.
很平淡。画面和音乐很纯净。。。
一位误入世界财阀群中的意大利隐修会修士（托尼赛尔维洛真可算是我最喜欢的意大利男演员。片尾鲁尔夫变成贝尔纳多真是令人忍俊不禁...）
野心很大的一部电影，甚至都无法为这一类型片定性。前半段还在好奇为什么自杀，到了后半段就完全不关心了，包括所谓的秘密、峰会内容等等都被抛之脑后，倒是对于资本家和政治家们被一位神父玩得团团转看得津津有味，而导演假借意大利神父之名玩弄并蔑视着西方列强的意图亦如司马昭之心。结尾有点虚了。
除了画面不错，其他都太天真，想用一条快乐曲线阐释当今社会的通胀率、失业率等一大堆经济曲线，野心很大而能力不足，就像神父懵懂的眼神。
