Ralph Fiennes, Isabella Rossellini, and Edward Berger Discuss Conclave and 28 Years Later

After honing his craft in his native Germany, director Edward Berger helped bring life to hit shows like Your Honor with Bryan Cranston and The Terror with Jared Harris. In 2022, Berger blew audiences away with his monumentally powerful adaptation of the seminal war classic All Quiet On The Western Front, winning Berger an Academy Award for Best International Picture. With films firmly in the "anticipated directors” category, Berger has introduced a new religious drama called Conclave, primed to pique interest worldwide.
In this mystery-thriller, Ralph Fiennes’ Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with organizing the election of the successor to the deceased pope. While doing so, he discovers the former pope had a secret that must be uncovered, concerning those in line to succeed to the papacy. The film also stars the exceptional Isabella Rossellini, who plays Sister Agnes in the film, as well as John Lithgow, Lucien Msamati, and Stanley Tucci.
Collider’s Steve Weintraub sat down with stars Fiennes and Rossellini and director Berger to discuss Conclave. Together, the three discussed casting the best actors and nailing the film's thematic choreography-piecing together shots and elements while also introducing the characters, their emotions, and complexities to theater audiences. Fiennes also shares how Danny Boyle captured 28 Years Later on an iPhone.

Isabella Rossellini is still very charming and so intelligent.

Loved this film, a cinematic masterpiece. For me, it was a film about imperfection

[@65g4]

this film is a masterpiece. Berger is a great director this film and All Quiet

[@ImNotPotus]

Euro Trip is still the best conclave movie.

[@bernadettegaudin2235]

It wouldn’t have the same zing if this movie revolved around the Church of England choosing the next arch bishop of Canterbury. We Catholics are just so tired of being abused by Hollywood for for the sake of money.

No shade, but this interwiever is so messy. Maybe more preparation?

[@SouthseaCavalier]

I agree...after all these artists giving you lengthy and detailed answers, he gave no response at all, just said 'I have to go' then asked a question completely irrelevant to the film...absolutely shocking interview skills

[@7349yt]

The irony of preaching doubt as "openness" and yet ending the film with a dogmatic affirmation of contemporary orthodoxy that the church is wrong about the lgbtqi+ alphabet soup of "sexual identities"! Pathetic. And, oh, so boooorrring.

Isnt dogmatic to find one element that annoys you and condemn the whole movie because of that...

[@7349yt]

@@herbayum76 You're right. It isn't dogmatic. Especially since that "one element" is the whole point of this silly movie (book originally).
