With the release of “Conclave,” Ralph Fiennes is finally an Oscar nominee once again after nearly thirty years since his last nomination for Anthony Minghella’s 1996 film “The English Patient.” The epic romance WWII drama went on to win a leading 9 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and was a critical and box office success. Starring Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, Kristin Scott Thomas, Naveen Andrews, Colin Firth, Julian Wadham, and Jürgen Prochnowwe, the film has had a bit of a divisive reaction as the years have gone on. What did we think of it upon this latest rewatch? Please tune in this Valentine’s Day as Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, and I discuss the direction, writing, performances, craftsmanship, its awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for all your support, and enjoy!
