Conclave - Top 10 Best Movies That Will Shake Up the Oscars in 2025 That You Should Watch.

Conclave is a religious and political thriller film adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name by author Robert Harris. The film is set inside the Vatican - where one of the most important events of the Catholic Church is taking place: the Conclave to elect a new Pope after the death of the current Pope.

At the center of the story is Cardinal Lomeli, a humble, upright man who was once the late Pope's close secretary. Assigned to oversee the conclave, Lomeli quickly realizes that behind the sacred walls and solemn rituals lies a web of intrigue, power struggles and deadly secrets.

As the election process gradually enters a tense climax, a shocking truth is revealed - one of the most promising candidates for the position of Pope is hiding a secret that can shake the Church and the world. Lomeli is caught in a dilemma between faith, truth and responsibility..

Conclave stands out with its tense pace, investigative and psychological plot combined with a closed setting full of religious rituals. Director Edward Berger (famous for All Quiet on the Western Front) has created a work that is both dramatic and full of philosophical depth, exploring painful questions about morality, trust and power.
