Fumata blanca

About This Movie

Fumata blanca has this gritty feel, really draws you in with its crime and drama blend. There’s a palpable tension throughout, mostly stemming from the heavy themes around faith and corruption. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it keeps you engaged, wondering about the fate of the missing cardinal. The performances are worth noting; the dynamic between the priest and his father feels authentic, layered with their personal struggles. And while the director remains unknown, the atmosphere created feels distinctly European, maybe even a touch noir. It’s not flashy, but the practical effects hold up well, adding to the film's raw edge. There's something about it that lingers, leaving you to ponder the deeper implications long after the credits roll.

Interesting exploration of faith vs. corruption · Strong character dynamics between father and son · A lesser-known gem with a European noir feel
