The latest film by Edward Berger and starring Rafe Fiennes, "Election of the Pope," which won the Academy Award® for Best Adapted Screenplay this year, is currently being released in theaters to rave reviews due to its exceptional success, and will be available exclusively on Prime Video for unlimited viewing starting July 30 (Wednesday).

This film is an exquisite mystery that depicts the inside story of the papal election "conclave" that decides the reigning Pope at the Vatican, the headquarters of the Catholic Church. Adapted from the book by journalist and author Robert Harris and directed by Edward Berger (Netflix original film "No Stranger on the Western Front"), the film is adapted by Peter Strahan, who was nominated for an Academy Award® for "Circus of Betrayal" (2011). With a talented international cast including Rafe Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, and Isabella Rossellini, the film was nominated for eight Academy Awards®, including Best Picture, and won Best Adapted Screenplay at the 97th Academy Awards®, and swept the international awards race.

The film, which began screening on March 20 (Thursday, national holiday), has been ranked in the TOP 10 in the weekend movie rankings for eight consecutive weeks, and in its 10th week of release, it surpassed 1 billion yen in box-office revenue. The total box-office revenue has now exceeded 1.1 billion yen, and screenings in Dolby Atmos started on Friday, March 20.

While the excitement at the theaters has not yet cooled down, it has already been decided that the movie will be distributed exclusively on Prime Video as much as you can watch it. The Japanese dubbed version will be available only on Prime Video at the time of distribution.
