Conclave, nominated for several Oscars, cleverly blends humor with serious themes by highlighting the quirky behaviors of its characters within a meticulously crafted Vatican setting. While the film's plot is described as silly, its success lies in its stellar cast, particularly Ralph Fiennes' dual portrayal and John Lithgow's complex character. However, the most notable casting, though overlooked during nominations, is Stanley Tucci, who plays a version of himself rather than fully immersing in his role, causing viewers to focus on his persona rather than the character. This dynamic offers a unique perspective on acting.
In Conclave, Stanley Tucci plays a version of himself instead of fully disappearing into his role as Cardinal Bellini, which is both amusing and problematic.
Ralph Fiennes and John Lithgow deliver outstanding performances, embodying a mix of seriousness and humor that contributes to the film's Oscar appeal.
