‘Conclave’ examines power. Stanley Tucci explores why you’d want it
LA TimesThis awards season, Stanley Tucci stars in “Conclave,” a film centered on the process of electing a new pope after the death of the previous one. There’s the great old Jewish expression — if you wish to know a man, give him power.” “Even to this day, after making the movie two years ago, I still think, did he want it? It’s ambiguous,” Stanley Tucci says of his character in “Conclave,” which also stars Ralph Fiennes, at left. It still needs a little bit of a spruce-up, but it was great.” The Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning actor has built a second career for himself on TV, first in CNN’s “Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy” and now with “Tucci — The Heart of Italy” on NatGeo, as well as in publishing with his bestseller, “Taste: My Life Through Food.” “We went out to dinner when we could. “He said, ‘I’ll have it if Stanley Tucci comes,’” the actor says, laughing, while noting the king is a fan of his on-air Italy travels.
