The Conformist
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Bernardo Bertolucci
1970 / 113min / DCP
Bertolucci’s historical drama, adapted from Alberto Moravia’s novel of Mussolini’s Italy in the 1930s, locates the roots of fascism in sexual repression, with Jean-Louis Trintignant as a fascist lacky obsessed with projecting a façade of normalcy who accepts a mission to rub out his dissident former professor, now in exile in Paris. Shot with sweeping gestures, bold colors, and punchy compositions by the formidable Vittorio Storaro, The Conformist is as visually flamboyant as Trintignant’s pinched performance is understated, ranking among the most cinematographically influential films ever made.
