Conclave (2024) dir. Edward Berger

CONCLAVE [2024] | The Pope had doubts about God? Never about God. What he had lost faith in was the Church.

CONCLAVE 2024

I know it isn’t the same but since we don’t have the vape gifs yet I thought maybe this could hold you guys over 🚬

“That was the ugliest fucking homily I’ve ever heard”

I watched Conclave and yes, what a great film, 9/10

A visual feast. Each scene is clean and sharp and bright and economical. The scenes aren't machine gunned at you - they're allowed to breathe.

No dumbing down. No over the top explanations.

Sister Agnes.

Lawrence 'I absolutely don't want to know anything about anyone so don't investigate, don't gossip, don't tell me anything. Please. Thank you. Sorry for raising my voice.' spending the entire film investigating, conspiring, and sharing juicy unethically obtained information with everyone.

Sister Agnes and Lawrence and the photocopier.

Lawrence elegantly and brutally knocking out the competition without meaning to.

Bellini 'I want to be Pope like I want a hole in the head, but I'll reluctantly listen to my friends and grudgingly take the job only if it stops the bad guy getting it' wanting it so badly it hurts his soul.

Benitez simultaneously being a cool and warm balm. A fresh approach to solving lingering problems. The answer to Bellini's and Lawrence's prayers and doubts.

Little aquatic friends who like to escape.

Conclave is one of those pieces of media that’s just begging for a His Dark Materials au, and we’ve theorised about it at length in the discord server. This is my own interpretation, in which Benítez has a fisher cat as his dæmon, and Lawrence has a (male) black-backed jackal. In the Bible, jackals are used to symbolise spiritual desolation and loneliness.

while watching conclave the other night we found out that my dog will perk her ears up and cock her head every time we say the words “stanley tucci” and yesterday my mom got her a new toy that we subsequently named stanley tucci. anyway all this to say it is very funny to hear my dad exclaim “go get stanley tucci!” from across the house

Concept: Conclave, a Knives Out Mystery

[flustered-art]

THE LAWRENCE x RAY SHIPPERS ARE REAL AND WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!!! LET THOSE OLD MEN KISS!!

[lacrimalfears]

everyones always talking about lawrence/benitez or lawrence/bellini or bellini/tedesco…………no one ever mentions benitez/tedesco………..overwhelming hatred for this seemingly meek man who out of nowhere snatched the papacy from you. seething from a distance at his nearly angelic countenance, the eloquence that comes so naturally to him. you’re so used to getting a rise from his peers but nothing you do or say ever phases him. wanting nothing more than to tear him down to size but every interaction you have leaves you feeling weirdly unbalanced.

[annebrontesrequiem]

Okay but Conclave has one of the most clear eyed and yet most hopeful views on the Catholic Church I’ve seen on film in a long time
