In the Oscar -winning film last year “Conclave”, as the cardinals played by John Lithgow and Ralph Fiennes face the body of a dead Pope, the process of choosing his successor is in motion.

So, we decided to visit the time we spent with Fiennes in Rome and then in New York City when the film came out the past fall.
In Villa Medici, one of the filming places for “Conconflave”, Fiennes said: “For the person who knows, this is not the Vatican. But I think that for a film, one could believe that this was an aspect of the Vatican, and we really filmed only inside.”
Fiennes played Cardinal Thomas Lawrence, who betrays his own repressed ambition to be a potato from another cardinal, played by Stanley Tucci. Both men are trapped in the claustrophobic pressure or papal policy. The cardinals are locked up, imprisoned in magnificence and secret.

Most of the film was filmed in the famous Cinecitta studies in Rome. Of the costumes, Fiennes said: “The clothes are very important, and if you put on a gown like that and hangs you in a certain way, suddenly it does something safely. You move differently, and you are in that set of chapels if we create in Cinecitta immediately. I mean, it was incredible to shoot those voting scenes.
Kidnapped, the Cardinals College issues ballots for a papal successor. “It’s a context of wealth,” said Fiennes, “or mundane wealth, and these holy men …”
“Supposedly holy,” I said.
“Yes, I was going to make signs of inverted coma! They are in a structure that massage their political instinct about what they are called the Church.”
Robert Harris wrote the 2016 novel that inspired the film. “Well, I was a political journalist, and it is politics that fascinates me,” he said. “And the conclave is fair, for me, the final choice. It is the oldest choice, the most extraordinary.”
Since the death of Pope Francis, the sales of Harris’s novel are ten times.
“It’s not that he is a child or, you know, somehow,” said Harris. “It’s just that the conclave always falls in this pattern. There are traditionalists and there are reformers. There are geographical blocks. And from this mixture, a commitment candidate arises.”
In the book and the film, the traditionalist is Tedesco; The reformer, Bellini; Tremblay is moderate, but a twilight; There is Adeyemi, the African contender. One by one, a commitment candidate is eliminated and emerged.

Harris said: “The thing acquires its own impulse, as any group would do. You know, as a jury that leans goes out to a verdict, this is called within the spiritual world a movement of the Holy Spirit, world, is political.”
Althegh Harris is not Catholic, his opinion on what happens.
I asked him: “It seems that the idea of the book is that somehow these defective men, who are also holy men, reach the right choice?”
“Yes, I think it’s a very good process,” Harris replied. “I think the novel Catholic Church has an immense wisdom of incorporated centuries.”
Fiennes said: “The film leaves you with a question: who should lead? Who should lead a structure like the Catholic Church? Who is the person worthy of it?”
“But it also asks the question, does the political process determine the leader to produce the right leader?” I asked. “The film seems to say yes.”
“Yes, the movie yes, in this case, say, can“Fiennes said.
Fiennes, like the cardinal who plays, is a man or doubts. He said: “They raised a Catholic, and then I rebelled when I was 13 years old. My mother was a committed Catholic. On my mother’s side, there are some theologians. So, God’s questions have one leg in my family since I was a child.”
I asked him: “Did you go out with an answer or your own questions?”
“No,” Fiennes replied. “I go out with more questions.”
Dramatized in the film by Cardinal Thomas Lawrence: “If there was only certainty and, without a doubt, there would be no mystery and, therefore, there is no need for faith.”
Harris said: “The way he pronounces the word Faith In the end it is simply extraordinary. “
Harris is a great admirer of the film. Now, he is seeing that his book comes true. “I’ve seen the early stages of the novel that develop in front of or me,” he said. “And that has been a fairly strange feeling, frankly, witnessing this machinery in operation.”
No matter who ends Pope, Harris, the ex rookie turned into a novelist, knows a good story when he sees one: “The whole image of it. The smoke that comes out of the fireplace. I mean, what extraordinary concept and concept of that titian are tea. It is a show that plays very, very well.
“I am fun, by the way, that the conclave is going to start, I think it’s a Wednesday,” he added. “There will be a really strong sensation among the cardinals that they would like to leave Rome on Friday afternoon. It is a fairly effective and cunning deadline!”
