Ralph Fiennes on Cardinal Lawrence’s ‘Crisis of Faith’ in ‘Conclave’: ‘We Mustn’t Underestimate the Importance of Doubt’
Ralph Fiennes on Cardinal Lawrence's 'Crisis of Faith' in 'Conclave': "We Mustn't Underestimate the Importance of Doubt"
For director Edward Berger, his riveting film “Conclave,” which is nominated for eight Academy Awards including best picture, is two stories. “You could call it a thriller, but also a wonderful inner journey. … It’s about Cardinal Lawrence’s inner journey.”
The thriller, set around the election of a new pope, was featured in the latest Variety Screening Series presented by Barco, where on Feb. 8 at the Harmony Gold Theater, a packed house went behind the movie with Berger, producers Tessa Ross and Mike Jackman, editor Nick Emerson, composer Volker Bertelmann, costume designer Lisy Christl, and lead actor Ralph Fiennes, who plays Cardinal Lawrence and who received a lengthy standing ovation went he arrived on stage.
During the conversion, the filmmakers delved into the making of the movie including editing, costume design and Bertelmann’s sonic signature for film, as well as the details involved in crafting the stunning, final reveal.
Fiennes examined the journey of his protagonist, whose duty it is to organize a conclave for the next pope, during which secrets are revealed. He notes that the audience learns that the Cardinal is having a crisis of faith, early in the story, through his comments about prayer. “Prayer is a very important, essential centering point akin to meditation … your private dialogue with the divine,” he said, observing that for priests, “that conversation is really crucial and if that’s disrupted, your whole sense, your whole foundation of your calling, must be shattered and must be very disturbing.”
“I think that that crisis is at the root of [Cardinal Lawrence’s] homily about doubt,” he said. “My interpretation is rigidity, rigidity breaks, it snaps. Whereas doubt, questioning, is flexibility, is being open to other ways.”
Of Cardinal Lawrence’s sermon that opens the conclave, Fiennes received applause as he added, “to say to a room full of Cardinals, ‘we mustn’t underestimate the importance of doubt’ is a shocking proposal and a brilliant one. I think it resonates beyond just the Vatican to the Catholic church. I think we should be asking questions. Around us are a lot of people with terrifying certainty. And I think we have to use the force of our benign questioning, doubting spirit to evolve.”
