Without time to mourn,

Over 100 powerful candidates from around the world gather, and
the secret voting begins behind the doors of the Sistine Chapel. As the votes are split, Lawrence's anguish deepens
as he is confronted with the numerous conspiracies, discrimination, and scandals simmering beneath the surface. And just before the birth of the new pope, a major incident breaks out that shakes the Vatican under high security...

Cast: Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci, Isabella Rossellini

Reviews

Peter Bradshaw The Guardian: Ralph Fiennes is on sumptuous form as the deeply troubled Cardinal Lawrence at the centre of a murky Vatican plot. The result is a high-camp gripper, like the world’s most serious Carry On film.   4/5

Stephen Romi The Australian: What unfolds as the cardinals go to war with each other… is as tantalising as a murder mystery. The candidates become suspects, leaks happen, and questions arise about who is telling the truth.  4/5
