Whether you're a film enthusiast or simply looking for a cozy night out, join us for an unforgettable cinematic journey that will inspire, entertain, and spark meaningful conversations. This week we are showing the BAFTA winning and Oscar nominated Conclave.
When the Pope dies suddenly, Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes), Dean of the College of Cardinals, must oversee one of the world’s most antient and secretive processes – selecting the new Pontiff. As the Catholic Church’s most powerful leaders gather together in isolation within the Vatican halls to hold the conclave, Cardinal Lawrence finds himself at the centre of a web of conspiracies where secrets, sabotage and revelations emerge.
Based on Robert Harris’s novel, Conclave is a riveting, religious thriller, packed with twists and turns. Directed by Oscar-winner Edward Bergers (All Quiet on The Western Front), it boasts an astonishing supporting cast including Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow and Isabella Rossellini - all at the top of their game.
“Conclave dares to dream of a kinder, bigger, and more inclusive version of the world—a world where doubt and faith go hand in hand, where one doesn’t have to choose between bad and worse, and absolutism is a sin.”
-Tomris Laffly, AV Club
“Conclave weaves an engrossing tale that always seems to have one more twist left up its billowy sleeves than you’re expecting.”
- Ross McIndoe, Slant Magazine
“Conclave, adapted from the popular novel by Robert Harris, demonstrates Berger’s versatility and also offers one of the best roles of his career to Ralph Fiennes, who is supported by an expert ensemble."
- Stephen Farber, Hollywood Reporter
