Conclave things that have stuck with me most after several watches and reading the book for comparison (I've mentioned some of this in other posts):

When Bellini berates Lawrence about his "precious doubts", he glances around first to make sure no one is going to hear. He's pissed off, but he knows the danger of rumour, and he doesn't want to get Lawrence hurt. It's such a tender little moment

Throughout the film, we get whispering and muttering, but it's never very clear what's being said. Until the end, when we can hear them all saying "Innocentius". After a discordant time of rumour and speculation, the Curia has finally united around Benitez

Lawrence's skullcap: he puts it on at the start when he needs to be professional, and tears it off after his improvised homily and the first time he sends Ray to do some investigating, as though he feels he is not worthy of his title. He's not wearing it at all when he sneaks into the Pope's room. But when he distributes the reports, it's back. He knows this is his duty

The book has a big focus on the role of the media, and we do get some mentions of that in the film (helicopters, camera flashes, etc) but it's incredibly stripped back. The film even changes some scenes to emphasise the role of rumour in such an insular place. For instance, the theatre room does not exist in the book, but in the film it provides space for Bellini's group to plot alone

The shroud over the dead Pope's face, and the ribbon and around the door, flimsy tradition contrasted with the heavy mundanity of the paramedics removing the body

The candles all around the Pope's photo, which are the same as the candle in Bellinis' room

Ray letting Lawrence use his glasses to read, which has obviously happened before. I love the solid ground that Ray provides Lawrence

In the book, Tedesco is terrible at Latin despite, as in the film, demanding it be brought back. The film provides a visual standing for this with the vape. He doesn't actually want tradition, he's just using it as a veil for his bigotry

Bellini saying the Pope was "always 8 moves ahead", setting up all the Pope's machinations that appear later

Lawrence being the first person to notice when Agnes and Benitez are trying to speak to the cardinals

The nuns always working in the background. Their work is shown over and over but the film demands effort from the audience to notice, lest they become "invisible"

[dontbeallupinmyfriesdawg]

Of course I feel absolutely feral and not at all normal about Conclave as a film. It's an absolute masterpiece and I want to watch it again and again.

One thing I deeply appreciated though. When Lawrence confronted Adeyemi, though not condemning him he didn't let him wriggle off the hook when he tried to explain away his relationship with Sister Shanumi as a lapse in judgement because 'they were young'.

Lawrence's response is perfect "No, no, no, she was young, she was 19. You were 30"

It's important that it isn't just brushed off as a sexual indiscretion born of human weakness. I could be wrong but as far as I can tell Adeyemi was in the ministry when this occurred (because if we was just a free single man it wouldn't have been such a big deal). So it makes it all the more sinister that he had an inappropriate relationship with a 19 year old girl who was likely one of his parishioners and got her pregnant.

I like that the narrative clearly shows his removal from the situation by his dismissive statement "If the child is in fact mine" whereas Sister Shanumi is clearly still consumed by the guilt of it all, she likely became a nun for that very reason and Lawrence mentions the very reason she will stay quiet is to protect her son. A child she has very likely not seen since giving birth to him.
