“Conclave” coming soon to cinemas. The star cast of the Vatican thriller includes a Pole
Berger’s latest thriller features an all-star cast led by Ralph Fiennes, who plays Cardinal Lawrence, who must lead a conclave after the unexpected death of the Pope. The film also stars Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, Isabella Rossellini, Brian F. O’Byrne, and Polish actor Jacek Koman (“Belfer”, “Chyłka”, “Suicide Room. Hater”).
“Conclave” begins with the death of a Pope hated in the Vatican. In connection with the event, cardinals from all over the world gather for the conclave to choose a new leader of the Church. The deliberations are led by Cardinal Lawrence, whose only task is to ensure that they proceed smoothly. However, when the fight between two hostile factions intensifies, and compromising secrets about their candidates begin to come to light, Lawrence faces a dilemma.
Maintain impartiality and allow an unworthy person to be elected? Or, against the rules, get involved on one side? Or maybe look for a third solution? The opportunity arises when, just before the vote begins, Cardinal Benitez, a mysterious collaborator of the late pope, appears among the deliberators. Who is he? Who is behind him? What is his goal? Is the institution of the Church facing a shock the likes of which has never happened in history?
