    “Conclave”, interview with director Edward Berger Chiara Nicoletti

Podcast | Download

After the successful screenings at the San Sebastian Film Festival, Edward Berger brings his new film “Conclave” at the 20th Zurich film Festival.

The film follows one of the world’s most secretive and ancient events: selecting the new Pope.

Ralph Fiennes plays the Cardinal in charge of coordinating the activities.

Edward Berger reveals that he was attracted to Robert Harris’ book, which the film is based on, not only for the natural curiosity that the Vatican world inspires but because he could relate to doubt.

I was interested in Ray Fiennes’ character journey of uncertainty and doubt – he clarifies in the interview –  because I can relate to doubt as I think many people can”.

The director also gives his personal comment on a concept expressed in the film: “The men who are dangerous are the ones who do not want to become Pope”.

Conclave manages not to completely fall on the curiosity of what happens behind the Vatican Doors so to become a universal tale on power, ambition and politics.

Among the themes the film directly and indirectly tackle, the “women” issue is often explored. The role of women in society and in positions of power is a very important element the film delves into.

Conclave is ready to land, in a few days, in the city it has been shot and takes place in: Rome and Rome Film Festival


Plot

From director Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front), CONCLAVE follows one of the world’s most secretive and ancient events – selecting the new Pope. Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) is tasked with running this covert process 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.
