What critics compared Conclave to
…the music is strangely similar to that of Conclave (2024), which composer Volker Bertelmann also worked on…
…yet another overwrought Volker Bertelmann’s score, though this one sounds an awful lot like his work on “Conclave,” it starts to sound nearly identical…
…the score from “Conclave.” Yes, the EXACT score used to make selecting a Pope riveting is also used to make a bomb heading towards Chicago equally as intense.
…el descarado score musical de Volker Bertelmann, quien simplemente copió y pegó los acordes principales que utilizó en Conclave. Te reto a encontrar las diferencias entre “Overture of Conclave” de Conclave e “Inclination Is Flattening” de Una casa de dinamita.
…if a little derivative of his compositions for All Quiet on the Western Front and Conclave…
…la cual guarda ciertas similitudes con el score de Conclave…
At the centre of it all is a tender performance by Ralph Fiennes, whose understated turn as a cardinal burdened with massive responsibility despite his wavering faith, to where he even finds it difficult to pray, carries echoes of Gary Oldman's striking take on George Smiley in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (a film that, funnily enough, Straughan co-wrote).
The tight script is by Peter Straughan whose previous work includes Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Wolf Hall, intrigues that Conclave sometimes resembles.
Stéphane Fontaine, the cinematographer behind such disparate films as Pablo Larrain's Jackie, Paul Verhoeven's Elle, and Jacques Audiard's A Prophet, brings all of his brilliant skill to Conclave's narrow hallways, sun-parched courtyards, and the flourishes of colorful figures appearing bird-like in formation as they cross the spaces in the Vatican.
