The proceedings are presided over by Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes<\/strong>), whose only task is to ensure that they run smoothly. However, as the fight between two hostile fractions intensifies and discrediting secrets of their candidates begin to come to light, Lawrence is faced with a dilemma: to remain impartial and let an unworthy person be elected? Or, against the rules, get involved on one of the sides? Or perhaps look for a third solution? The opportunity arises when, just before the voting begins, the unknown Cardinal Benitez (Carlos Diehz<\/strong>), a mysterious associate of the late pope, shows up among the attendees. Who is he? Who stands behind him? What is he up to? Is the institution of the Church facing a shakeup unlike any in its history?<\/p>\n Cinematographer:<\/strong> St\u00e9phane Fontaine * * * * * * * * * *<\/p>\n THE DEVIL’S BATH<\/span> Agnes (Anja Plaschg<\/strong>) is getting married. But nothing is turning out the way she wants \u2013 her husband is not particularly interested in her, her mother-in-law criticizes her at every turn and the loan the young couple took to buy a house seems to exceed the financial capabilities of the newlyweds. The woman quickly becomes depressed. However, since the film is set in the Austrian countryside of nearly three centuries ago, everyone thinks she is possessed by Satan. The Devil’s Bath<\/em> is a historically well documented folk drama that lets viewers empathize with a heroine, who is put in a no-win situation, and at the same time look at the actual life of our ancestors (and especially our female ancestors) from a slightly different perspective.<\/p>\n Original title:<\/strong> Des Teufels Bad * * * * * * * * * *<\/p>\n DUNE: PART TWO<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a9 2024 Warner Bros.

But can a bloody past be truly erased? Emilia P\u00e9rez<\/em> is a whimsical fairy tale about the essence of freedom, the beauty of transformation, and female solidarity.
