Gorton Center – John & Nancy Hughes TheaterJoin us at Gorton Center for a movie night featuring Conclave. Directed by Edward Berger, this gripping drama takes you inside one of the world’s most secretive events: the election of a new pope. The story follows Cardinal Lawrence, played by Ralph Fiennes, who is tasked with leading the conclave of cardinals to select the next pope.
As the cardinals gather in the Vatican, Cardinal Lawrence quickly realizes the process is far more complex than he thought. What should be a sacred and private event becomes tangled with power struggles, hidden agendas, and dangerous conspiracies. Lawrence soon finds himself at the center of a web of intrigue that could change the Church forever.
The film is a thrilling blend of suspense and drama. Fiennes gives a standout performance as Cardinal Lawrence, alongside Stanley Tucci and John Lithgow who also deliver strong performances, adding layers of tension and intrigue to the story.
Conclave goes beyond the surface of the election process. It explores the personal and political challenges faced by the cardinals as they vie for power. The movie reveals the complex world behind the Church’s public image, showing how ambition and loyalty clash in moments of crisis.
With sharp dialogue, tense scenes, and stunning visuals, this film keeps you on the edge of your seat. It asks tough questions about faith, power, and the cost of leadership.
