Distributed by Focus Features. 110 minutes. Rated PG.

Who would have imagined that one of the most intriguing and suspenseful films of this year would be about a bunch of cardinals sequestered in the Vatican to vote on a new Pope? In fact, intriguing and suspenseful is not giving Conclave its full due. This is simply one of the best films of the year. Don’t be surprised to see it on a bunch of best films of the year lists and also for it to get a whole bunch of award nominations.

It's that good. Who would have guessed?

Again, it was about a bunch of cardinals in the Vatican. Blessed are the believers, indeed.

Conclave is based on the novel by Robert Harris and shows us – very forcefully and at the same time very subtly – that some very devout and proper people can still have some skeletons in their closets. In fact, pretty much everyone here, and they are mostly good and spiritual followers of Christ, has some serious secrets which they are not willing to allow to see the light of day.

Many of the deadly sins – lust, greed, pride, envy and wrath – all show up at different points in the story. (Gluttony and sloth don’t seem to be on the menu but give it time.) The final twist – which I will certainly not spoil – is not even on that deadly sins scale and may even go too far afield dramatically for a chunk of the film’s potential audience. Yet somehow it does make a certain strange sense for the story.

Even arguably the most devout person of all – Cardinal Thomas Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) – the man in charge of making sure the conclave runs smoothly and essentially the moral center of the story (assuming you don’t count the dead Pope) makes some dubious moves and forms some sketchy alliances. And yet you can tell he is doing these things for the right reasons.

Or is he?

The choosing of the Pope itself turns out to be oddly like an extremely solemn reality show. Cardinals take the lead in the votes, make alliances with (and against) each other, sabotage each other’s campaigns and as their secrets meet the light of day, they are basically voted off the island.

There is much more subterfuge and backstabbing than you would expect from such a serious pursuit, but that just points out the humanity of the process.

The acting here is unfailingly spectacular, particularly Fiennes, Stanley Tucci as a moderate cardinal and particularly Isabella Rossellini as a quiet but steely head nun, who is mostly ignored by the men, until she finally has to take some moral stands to keep the process going fairly. Seriously, Rossellini should definitely be in line for a Best Supporting Actress nominee.

Like I said earlier, don’t be surprised if that is only one of many Oscar nominations.

Il 12 febbraio 1980, l'Università La Sapienza di Roma divenne teatro di un tragico evento che sconvolse l'opinione pubblica italiana: l'assassinio del professor Vittorio Bachelet, giurista e vicepresidente del Consiglio superiore della Magistratura. L'agguato L'aggressione, orchestrata da due militanti delle Brigate Rosse, e dettagliatamente descritta da Gian Antonio Stella e Bruno Tucci nelle pagine del Corriere della Sera, avvenne sulle scale della facoltà di Scienze politiche, dove Vittorio Bachelet, docente di Diritto amministrativo, fu colpito mortalmente. La tragedia sconvolse il Paese e sollevò interrogativi sulla violenza politica dell'epoca. I terroristi, identificati come membri delle Brigate Rosse, rivendicarono l'omicidio, accusando Vittorio Bachelet di favorire la trasformazione del Consiglio superiore della Magistratura in un organo politico. Chi era Bachelet La storia di Vittorio Bachelet è intrecciata con la sua militanza nell'Azione Cattolica e la sua carriera accademica. Nato a Roma nel 1926, si iscrisse giovanissimo all'Azione Cattolica a Bologna e intraprese gli studi di giurisprudenza. La sua amicizia con Aldo Moro risale a quegli anni, segnando un legame che si consolidò nel tempo. Vittorio Bachelet, nominato vicepresidente nazionale dell'Azione Cattolica da Papa Giovanni XXIII e successivamente presidente da Paolo VI, ebbe il compito di rinnovare l'organizzazione secondo i principi del Concilio Vaticano II. La sua attività politica lo vide iscritto alla Democrazia Cristiana, e nel 1976 fu eletto consigliere comunale a Roma. Nello stesso anno, divenne vicepresidente del Consiglio superiore della Magistratura, un incarico che mantenne fino alla sua tragica morte. L'assassinio di Vittorio Bachelet, avvenuto nel contesto dell'escalation della violenza politica dell'epoca, suscitò forte indignazione. Il Presidente della Repubblica Sandro Pertini definì l'atto come il "più grave delitto consumato in Italia", sottolineando l'attacco alle istituzioni democratiche. Il perdono del figlio Il figlio di Vittorio Bachelet, Giovanni, pronunciò parole di perdono al funerale del padre, sottolineando la volontà di non cedere all'odio e alla vendetta. La memoria di Vittorio Bachelet vive attraverso il ricordo di un uomo che ha dedicato la sua vita alla difesa dei valori democratici e dello Stato di diritto. Le indagini sull'omicidio portarono all'arresto di Bruno Seghetti e Anna Laura Braghetti nel maggio del 1980. Entrambi erano già coinvolti nel sequestro di Aldo Moro due anni prima, furono condannati all'ergastolo. La storia di Vittorio Bachelet rappresenta un capitolo oscuro della storia italiana, ma il suo spirito di impegno civile continua a ispirare coloro che lottano per la democrazia e la giustizia.

Screamfest Horror Film Festival Announces Initial Lineup for 21st Edition

Screamfest® Horror Film Festival, the largest and longest-running horror film festival in the United States, announced their first-wave lineup of competitive features and shorts for its 21st edition. Running October 12th through 21st at the TCL Chinese Theater, Screamfest® welcomes audiences back to the big screen for a collective experience they won’t soon forget. Tickets can be purchased here: https://screamfestla.com

The Retaliators will open Screamfest® LA on October 12th for its North American premiere with a red carpet prior to the screening. The film follows an upstanding pastor who uncovers a dark and twisted underworld as he searches for answers surrounding his daughter's brutal murder. Directed by Bridget Smith and Samuel Gonzalez Jr. and written by the Geare brothers, The Retaliators also features a high-octane original soundtrack and cameos from some of the biggest names in rock music, including Five Finger Death Punch, Tommy Lee, Papa Roach, The Hu, Ice Nine Kills, Escape The Fate, and more appear on screen. Marc Menchaca (Ozark), Michael Lombardi (Rescue Me), and Joseph Gatt (Game of Thrones) star in this horror-thriller which reveals a game of revenge played using a new set of rules.

Considered the "Sundance of Horror," Screamfest® is proud to showcase new work from independent filmmakers from across the globe. Highlights from this year’s program include the World Premieres of Father of Flies, the haunting tale of family life and the supernatural and Teddy Grennan’s Wicked Games where a long weekend at a country estate is turned into a nightmare when a group of masked intruders invades the property. Little do they know one guest has a surprise for them.

Four films will be making their North American debuts at the festival. In addition to The Retaliators, Richard Waters’s dark folk horror Bring Out The Fear traps its protagonists in an unsolvable maze where a sinister presence awaits; Clare Foley stars in the sci-fi horror The Changed where an alien presence takes possession of the hearts and minds of her city; and Isolation depicts nine tales of terror which are woven together as remote people work to survive an increasingly deadly outbreak.

US premieres at the festival include Russia’s #Blue_Whale produced by Timur Bekmambetov, which follows Dana as she works to uncover the truth behind her sister’s suicide; Argentina’s fantasy horror film Nocturna: Side A- The Great Old Man’s Night which depicts one old man’s journey to rethink his past and present and question his reality; and Kratt by Rasmus Berivoo in which children stumble upon an instruction manual to create a supernatural being.

West Coast premieres at the festival include a joint production between the US, Mexico, and Venezuela, Exorcism of God which follows an American priest working in Mexico who, due to a botched exorcism, carries a dark secret with him; hailing from Ireland, Let the Wrong One In dives into the complications of family ties when a vampire is discovered in the family; Erik Bloomquist follows twins who spend a night at a remote inn to investigate their missing father in Night at the Eagle Inn; North American distribution rights to the Argentinian The Returned (Los Que Vuelven) - which follows a woman in 1919 prays to a mythical deity to resurrect her stillborn son - were acquired in a new venture between Peter Block of A Bigger Boat and Seth Nagel, Scott Einbinder and Garrick Dion of 5X Media; What Josiah Saw explores a farmhouse haunted by the past; Alone With You stars Emily Bennett, Emma Myles, and fan-favorite Barbara Crampton in a twisted tale of memory and horror unfolding over a romantic homecoming for a distant girlfriend; and When I Consume You by Perry Blackshear where two siblings get more than they bargained for when hunting a shadowy stalker.

The festival will also feature a Special Presentation of Daniel Farrands’s Aileen Wuornos: American Boogeyman starring Peyton List and Lydia Hearst, which follows the notorious killer through a little known chapter of her life in Deland, Florida.

“After a challenging year for cinema, we are excited to return to our home at the TCL Chinese Theatre for our latest lineup of frights,'' says festival founder Rachel Belofsky. “While last year’s drive-ins allowed us to continue to celebrate horror films as a community, we have missed the magic of the traditional theatrical experience.”

Formed in August 2001 by film producer Rachel Belofsky, Screamfest Horror Film Festival is a female-run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that gives filmmakers and screenwriters in the horror and science fiction genres a venue to have their work showcased in the film industry.
