Conclave

Following the Pope's death, cardinals from around the world gather at the Vatican to elect his successor. The dean, a man plagued by deep doubts, witnesses the intrigues, secrets, and ambitions of the electors coming to light. Edward Berger adapts Robert Harris' novel with cinematic elegance, creating a political and spiritual thriller that raises questions about faith, power, and what it means to govern an institution in crisis.

Berger, after All Quiet on the Western Front, confirms he is one of the great directors of the moment. A thriller of ideas that uses the Vatican as a metaphor for power. Fiennes is masterful.
