Conclave is German director Berger’s follow up to his 2022 anti-war epic and Oscar winner All Quiet on the Western Front. The Vatican conspiracy thriller, with a screenplay by Peter Straughan and based on Robert Harris’ novel, sees Fiennes play Cardinal Lomeli, tasked with overseeing the Cardinals arriving from across the globe to join the Conclave. But as the political machinations inside the Vatican intensify, Lomeli realizes that the departed Pope had kept a secret from them that he must uncover before a new Pope has been chosen.

I keep forgetting about this movie, first having heard of it at Cinema Con*, but when I remember I'm always like "Oh please I hope we get this!"

 

Religious Political Machinations?

 

This was made for me.

Wonder what they can come up with for the previous pope's secret that is not sort of screamngly obvious.

Spoiler

And, yes, I think that he is accused of being a pedophile to be a pretty obvious one. I hope they are bit more inventive.
