Tiff 2024: Conclave Movie Trailer
Get Ready for “Conclave” at TIFF 2024
Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2024 is heating up with the buzz around Edward Berger’s latest film, Conclave. After his critically acclaimed All Quiet on the Western Front, Berger dives into high-stakes drama with this riveting new flick.
What’s It About?
When the Pope dies suddenly, Cardinals from all corners of the globe are summoned to the Vatican for a top-secret conclave to elect a new leader. Picture this: no phones, no outside contact—just a tense, closed-door battle where every word and action could tip the balance. Ralph Fiennes stars as Cardinal Lawrence, who thinks the election is a straightforward clash between the conservative Cardinal Tedesco (Sergio Castellitto) and the progressive Cardinal Bellini (Stanley Tucci). But as the days tick by, alliances shift, secrets surface, and sabotage looms.
Star Power
With Oscar nominees Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci leading the cast, alongside John Lithgow and Isabella Rossellini, Conclave is brimming with top-tier talent. Fiennes’ Cardinal Lawrence is at the heart of the action, while Tucci’s Bellini brings a clash of ideologies to the forefront.
Why You’ll Love It
Adapted from Robert Harris’s gripping novel, the film is shot by Stéphane Fontaine, who brings a visually arresting touch to the Vatican’s grandeur. The 72-hour countdown unfolds with breathtaking intensity, capturing the delicate dance between tradition and modernity.
