Tomato and basilica: In the conclusion, Stanley Tucci Stanley Tucci – and I couldn’t be happier | Films

COnclave is rightly nominated for a number of Oscars this year. I suspect that this is due to how successful it has managed to construct a perfectly Oscar-friendly cladding religion! Costumes! Corbic reconstructions of the Vatican! – And wrap it for the stupidest story you can imagine. We will save discussions about the turn for another time, but even without that it is a story about a few apparently serious men who behave like clapping schoolgirls. To be honest, it’s strange.

Part of his attraction is how well it was occupied. Ralph Fiennes can also play his two best modes – Furowed Doubt and Leonard Rossiter. John Lithgow becomes Avuncular and threatening at the same time. Isabella Rossellini can tell many people that they were very naughty boys. But probably the best casting and strangely excluded nominations are that of Stanley Tucci. And that is because Stanley Tucci plays in Conclave Stanley Tucci.

This is basically. He is Stanley Tucci from books and television and social media – urban, refined, conspiratorial – in a fun hat and a dressing dress. If you see Stanley Tucci on the screen, don’t think: “Oh, there is Cardinal Bellini, the clear favorite that will be the next Pope.” Instead, think: “Hey, it’s Stanley Tucci! Go to Stanley, make us a Negroni. “

This seems to be a problem on the surface. After all, it is the point to be an actor in a role. The thrill of watching a great actor is to observe such a comprehensive transformation that you quickly forget that you are watching an actor at all. This is not the case with Stanley Tucci. To see Stanley Tucci in anything means that Stanley Tucci is transformed into a version of Stanley Tucci, which sometimes wears slightly different clothes.

Take a look at Stanley Tucci’s filmography and you will find that Stanley Tucci has not really tried to disappear in a figure in the past half decade. Citadel, what if …, in humans, the witches; Tucci knowingly looked at a genre instead of disappearing into a character. The last time he really did, it was in the excellent Supernova 2020. And even then he was still Stanley Tucci, just a version of Stanley Tucci, which is not so winking the audience.

The reason for this is, of course, that Stanley Tucci exceeded the spectacle. He is now a personality. Thanks to his books and travel shows and Tikkoks, Tucci ends up on the best defined role of his life. A classic demanding one who appreciates the finer things in life. He is flawlessly dressed and charming enough to giggle her grandmother in her handkerchief. Forget one of the things he has done before is now who Stanley Tucci is. And it is probably impossible to escape.

That’s okay. Sometimes it happens. Culture in 2025 means that the spectacle is such a terrible task that all actors ever want to find a lucrative side custody that will get it out of it. George Clooney has his alcohol. Scarlett Johansson has her cosmetic line. And Stanley Tucci has his travel reports. These are the things that made him a well -known name, and there is nothing wrong with that. If you had the chance to be paid well to do what you love most in the world, you would take it too. Of course you would.

Besides, this is not exactly new. Before he went through his living with Italy, Stanley Tucci was always best when he played Stanley Tucci. His best film remains a big night, which he wrote together and played with the guide. The film was based on Tucci’s love for eating. His character showed many properties of the classic TUCCI personnel. The last scene, one of the great filming of all time, is only Stanley Tucci, which makes grumpy an omelet. It is basically a prototype of its Instagram contributions. It’s a great film. If you can be Stanley Tucci and Stanley Tucci, Stanley Tucci is, why do you ever want to be something?

However, if you are primarily famous to tell your wife strictly how to make a cocktail on the Internet, this will be considered in your ability to play a number of roles. He always emerged in the camp when he played in the devil Wears Prada and Julie & Julia and the hunger Games. But it is difficult to see how he now plays Philippe I, Duke of Orléans as he did in the beautiful bones. But Hope jumps forever. As we have established, Stanley Tucci is the world’s best Stanley Tucci. But maybe the return of Conclave to the drama shook something loose in it. Maybe he will be a little less in his next role himself. And then a little less. And then it could be time to be excited again.
