Edward Berger's drama 'Conclave' offers a fictional glimpse into the secret papal election process, portraying the tension between ancient rituals and modern conflicts within the Church.
The film's characters are not based on real people, but rather amalgams of the diverse ideological blocs within the Roman Catholic Church, highlighting the intertwining of politics and faith.
As Robert Harris noted, the narrative isn’t just about the election of a pope but is ultimately 'all politics in the end,' reflecting the complexities of Church dynamics.
With a stellar cast led by Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci, 'Conclave' presents a compelling dramatization of the tensions and inner workings among cardinals vying for papacy.
