“Bertolucci’s boldest and most expressive film.” – Calum Marsh, Village Voice
“It’s easy to overlook how stark The Conformist’s political and allegorical message is because it’s just so damn beautiful.” – Vox
“One of the greatest-looking movies ever made.” – Chicago Reader
Bernardo Bertolucci’s masterpiece is a political drama set in Mussolini’s Italy, starring Jean-Louis Trintignant as a repressed man trying to purge memories of a youthful, homosexual episode – and murder – who joins the Fascists in a desperate attempt to fit in.
Adapted from the Alberto Moravia novel, the film boasts an authentic Art Deco look, breathtaking colour cinematography and an iconic Georges Delerue score.
