This article considers Nanni Moretti's We Have a Pope ( Habemus Papam, 2011) and Alice Rohrwacher's Corpo Celeste (2011) via the notion of lines of flight as developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. We argue that, in spite of stylistic and thematic differences, the two films present clear similarities since they highlight and address conflicts and tensions existing within the contemporary Catholic religious order. Both films present cracks and horizons of becoming within the institutionalised Catholic Church, tracing possible paths of transformation for viewers aligning with and following the two main characters. We argue, concurrently, that Corpo Celeste – because of specific formal and conceptual choices – engenders a complete reimagining of the transcendent realm within a miraculous or animist materialist and immanent paradigm.

神奇的唯物主义：我们有教皇和蔚蓝军团中的飞行路线

本文通过 Gilles Deleuze 和 Félix Guattari 开发的飞行线概念考虑了 Nanni Moretti 的 We Have a Pope（Habemus Papam，2011 年）和 Alice Rohrwacher 的 Corpo Celeste（2011 年）。我们认为，尽管在风格和主题上存在差异，但这两部电影呈现出明显的相似之处，因为它们突出并解决了当代天主教宗教秩序中存在的冲突和紧张局势。这两部电影都呈现了在制度化的天主教会中的裂痕和视野，为观众追随并追随这两个主要角色追踪了可能的转变路径。我们同时认为，Corpo Celeste——由于特定的形式和概念选择——在一个奇迹或万物有灵论的唯物主义和内在范式中对超验领域进行了彻底的重新想象。
