In a tense moment in Edward Berger's film Conclave, Sister Agnes's discreet delivery of a game-changing revelation to the male cardinals is both pivotal and symbolic.
Sister Agnes's subsequent silence after her impactful statement underscores the thematic importance of female agency versus male authority in environments dominated by men.
The film draws parallels to Joan of Arc's powerful silence in The Passion of Joan of Arc, where her mute defiance exposes the hypocrisy of her male interrogators.
Both Sister Agnes and Joan of Arc utilize minimal verbal engagement as a form of protest, showcasing historical traditions of women subtly undermining patriarchal power.
