Berger's adaptation balances intense drama with dark humor, creating a gripping portrayal of Vatican power struggles as cardinals vie for papal succession.
Fiennes' character, rewritten as an English cardinal instead of Italian, showcases the complexities and nuances involved in Vatican politics and succession.
The film offers a unique mix of camp and seriousness, much like a 'Carry On' film but revolving around the gravitas of a papal election process.
Supporting performances from actors like Tucci, Lithgow, and Castellitto enrich the narrative, highlighting various perspectives within the intense and competitive environment.
