Edward Berger's gripping film Conclave captivated audiences last year, offering a rare glimpse into the secretive process of electing a new pope. As cardinals from across the globe prepare to participate in a real-life conclave, the influence of Berger's movie is strikingly evident. Some of these religious leaders have turned to the film for guidance, illustrating the profound impact of cinematic storytelling on real-world events.
According to a papal cleric involved in the conclave ritual, as reported by Politico, Berger’s film—featuring the esteemed Ralph Fiennes as the dean of the College of Cardinals—is considered "remarkably accurate" by cardinals themselves. The cleric noted that "some [Cardinals] have watched it in the cinema," highlighting the film's role as a preparatory tool.
The passing of Pope Francis in late April, just months after the film's release, has set the stage for this conclave. With 133 high-ranking clerics from around the world set to gather in the Sistine Chapel starting Wednesday, May 7, the process of electing the next leader of the global Catholic Church is underway.Many of these cardinals were appointed by Pope Francis and have never experienced a conclave before. This makes it particularly understandable that they might seek guidance from Conclave, especially those from smaller and more remote parishes who might find the film's depiction invaluable in preparing for this significant event.
