CONCLAVE (12A) 120 mins Director: Edward Berger Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, Isabella Rossellini Synopsis: Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with running the covert process of choosing a successor after the unexpected death of the beloved Pope. Once the Catholic Church's most powerful leaders have gathered from around the world and are locked together in the Vatican halls, Lawrence uncovers a trail of deep secrets left in the dead Pope's wake--secrets which could shake the foundations of the Church. Awards: 8 Oscar nominations, 4 BAFTAs, 6 Golden Globe nominations Reviews: "You may think that being locked in a room with a bunch of pompous elderly men deviously attempting to shaft each other wouldn’t be a lot of fun. But trust me on this: Conclave is a blast." ***** OBSERVER "Conclave is a papal thriller based on the 2016 novel by Robert Harris and it stars a magnificent Ralph Fiennes. If he doesn’t win an Oscar I’ll eat my hat and also yours. Luckily, the film is also well written, smart, taut and visually stunning." SPECTATOR "Conclave has now been brilliantly translated to the big screen. It’s high entertainment, all components expertly marshalled." NEW STATESMAN
