A seminal depiction of life in the age of fascism, Bernardo Bertolucci’s masterpiece, adapted from a novel by Alberto Moravia, follows a repressed man (Jean-Louis Trintignant) who gets caught up in the hegemonic fascist regime in an effort to “cleanse” himself of an earlier, murderous homosexual experience. Tasked with the assassination of his old left-wing mentor, he flashes back to earlier times, reminiscing on his relationship with his wife (Stefania Sandrelli) and his lover (Dominique Sanda). Indelibly lensed in color by Vittorio Storaro and scored by George Delerue, The Conformist is not just one of the great political films of its time, it is an enduringly staggering psychological autopsy of the fascist mindset and its desperate need to fit in at all costs. 35mm print courtesy of Cinecittà.
