  shia labeouf plays the title character in this period piece, and his face dominates the promotional material, but the latest film from the ridiculously prolific abel ferrara, now into his 70s, is really more of an ensemble with a supporting cast that’s near-unknown outside ıtaly.
  
  padre pio, playing in venice days at the venice film festival, is more restrained than a normal ferrara joint (notably 2019’s siberia, with its talking fish), and the sober, borderline-amateur performances — apart from an unrecognizable asia argento as “tall man” — are more reminiscent of one of james franco’s more earnest literary adaptations. the fiery religious comment, however, is the giveaway; ferrara may claim to be a buddhist now, but the catholic church has given him a rich source of material since his genre output of the 1980s.
