Conclave is a papal thriller based on the best-selling novel by Robert Harris about the selection of a new pope.
Many loved it for its striking costumes, Catholic iconography, scheming cardinals, and so many other reasons.
Directed by Edward Berger, it starred Ralph Fiennes, Isabella Rossellini, Stanley Tucci and John Lithgow.
It was an award season darling, gaining many nods at many ceremonies such as the Oscars. Categories it was acknowledged in included Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. The former award was won by Conclave’s screenwriter Peter Straughan.

“I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others, but rather to use the resources available to help the needy, to fight hunger and to encourage initiatives that promote development. These are the ‘weapons’ of peace: weapons that build the future, instead of sowing seeds of death!,” he said
