Edward Berger & Isabella Rossellini Interview


CONCLAVE
Section: Special Presentations
Director: Edward Berger
Logline: Conclave unfolds over a tension-riddled 72 hours, depicting a gripping confrontation between tradition, politics, and faith. Featuring brilliant supporting performances — most notably from Isabella Rossellini as the silent yet formidable Sister Agnes — it focuses on the all-too-human aspects of a hallowed procedure, one that speculates on the role of religion in a rapidly changing world.
Distributor: Focus Features (U.S.), Elevation Pictures (Canada)
Panelists: Dir. – Edward Berger; Actor: Isabella Rossellini
Key quotes: “It takes place behind closed doors in the Vatican, and it’s about the election of a new Pope, but it’s mainly about all the political machinations that go on behind closed doors. I’ve been working on it probably for six years with a wonderful writer, Peter Straughan. When I heard that he was [attached], I said, ‘I want to read this, because he’s really the best writer in the world. I think his scripts are always very precise, but also really soulful. And I found it in Conclave when I read it.”
