The news of Pope Francis’ sudden demise on Easter Monday, sent shockwaves around the world as religious believers, world leaders and politicians mourned his demise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interestingly, this solemn moment in Church history sparked an outpouring of social media reactions, considering that the news comes just months after the release of the Hollywood movie ‘Conclave’, an Oscar-nominated film that dramatises the very process now set to unfold in Vatican City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As preparations for the real-life events are already underway, with the Vatican beginning ceremonies for the Pope’s funeral proceedings in the coming days, Conclave which was previously available on Peacock for streaming will now have its digital release on Prime Video on April 22. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Directed by Edward Berger, Conclave offers a fictionalised yet compelling portrayal of the papal election, taking viewers behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel where cardinals of the Roman Catholic order, gather to elect a new Pontiff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The film stars Ralph Fiennes as Cardinal Thomas Lawrence, the dean of the College of Cardinals, alongside an ensemble cast including Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, Lucian Msamati, and Sergio<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Castellitto. The film has garnered widespread acclaim, earning top honours at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the EE British Academy Film Awards, and an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. Many scholars have also praised the film for its accuracy, however, historians caution that no fictional depiction can fully reveal the inner workings of such a secretive process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclave made its festival debut with a near-perfect 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes, later settling at 93% after additional reviews. The film was a commercial success, earning over $100 million worldwide on a production budget of just $20 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It went on to secure eight Oscar nominations earlier this year, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Fiennes, ultimately winning the award for Best Adapted Screenplay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, in real life, Pope Francis’ funeral Mass and burial will take place between the fourth and sixth day after his death. Following the funeral, the Church enters a nine-day period of mourning known as the ‘novendiali’. (TOI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
