While the Pope Francis remains in critical condition due to early renal failure, the events of the film Conclave They are more present than ever.
When the cast of Conclave was later asked in the Winning Room about his thoughts about the recent health problems of Pope Francis and the possibility of a conclave in real life in the near future, Rossellini approached the microphone of the room of the press and cited his perspective as a Italian woman.
“Pope Francis, I wish him the best. In our film we analyze the choice of a new Pope, which is very secret and that takes place in the Vatican, in the beautiful room that Miguel Ángel painted, the Sistine Chapel that we reproduce, ”said Rossellini. “As Italians, we are familiar, perhaps more familiar than foreigners, with the debate within the Churchwhich is very similar to debate in all societies: the role of homosexuals, conservatives, progressives, the role of women. Sergio and I were more familiar, perhaps more than all of you, but we don’t know exactly what happens during the conclave. The film reveals the possible debates. ”
Sergio Castellittowho plays Tedesco in the film, also intervened using his mother tongue, the Italian, which Rossellini translated. “For us who live in Rome, living a few meters away, a few meters from the Pope is to have a much closer relationship,” said Castellitto. “We see the helicopter that comes out of his place: ‘Oh, the Pope leaves today and returns!’ So our relationship as Italians with the Pope is much closer. I repeat, I really wish you the best “.
