“Conclave”, the Oscar -winning dramatic film about the secret process of choice of a new Pope, is now available to convey only one day after Pope Francis died at 88, which will trigger a sequence of events such as those shown in the film when the cardinals choose a new leader for the Catholic Church.

Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, Lucian Msamati and Carlos Diehz play Cardinals who compete for the election to the papacy, all of them from different countries with conflicting ideological visions about the Church, a process that will probably be reflected once the conconclave meets to choose the successor of Francis.

What did critics say about the “conclave”?
The critics praised “conclave”, which obtained a 93% score in Rotten Tomatoes. Variety’s critic, Peter Debruge, described the film as a “selection of criticism”, praising its suspense elements and the “War of Words between the liberal and conservative features of the Church.” The critic of Boston Globe, Odie Henderson, compared the film with a “mystery of Agatha Christie set in the Vatican”, praising his turns and surprises, as well as the “First” performances.
Who are the main candidates to happen to Pope Francis?
Vatican’s experts claim that there is no single favorite to happen to Francisco. James Somerville-Meikle, former deputy director of the Catholic Union of Great Britain, told NBC News that “nobody really knows” who will win the elections because the conclave is a “unique electorate”, and added that many previous conclaves have given surprising winners. Among the cardinals considered as possible candidates are the Canadian Marc Ouellet, 80, a Cardinal of conservative trend that was also considered one of the main candidates in 2013, as well as Luis Tagle, 67, Cardinal often compared to Francisco for his defense of the poor, who could become the first Asian Pope. Cardinals Pietro Parolin and Matteo Zuppi, both from Italy, are also considered possible candidates, as well as several cardinals in Africa, including Robert Sarah, Guinea, and Fridolin Ambongo, of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
How does a conclave work?
The cardinals will be isolated in the Sistine Chapel about 15 days after the death of a Pope and will cast their secret vote until a candidate obtains a two -thirds majority of the votes. Only cardinals under 80 can vote. Once the votes are counted, smoke smoke is burned and expelled: the black smoke indicates that no cardinal has won the papal choice, while the white smoke means that a new Pope has been chosen.
Key history
Francisco died on Monday at 88 after years of fighting health problems, which were aggravated in recent months and caused their louder hospitalization as a potato. The Vatican reported that Francisco died of a stroke and irreversible heart failure. Francisco directed the Catholic Church for 12 years and was recognized by liberal Catholics, but controversial among conservatives for their effort to achieve a more inclusive church, particularly for their efforts to be cozy for LGBTQ+ Catholics and immigrants.
