The Conformist (1970)
Based on the novel of
the same name this film from director Bernardo Bertolucci stars
Lean-Louis Trintignant and Stefania Sandrelli. In 1930s Italy a man
seeks to find himself a normal life amidst the rise of fascism.
From the start this
film looks excellent with some great period sets and good
cinematography which capture the feel of period film making. The main
themes of the plot are the universal desire to want a normal life but
set in abnormal times the protagonist gets drawn into a world he is
not comfortable with. What the film does well is show how a
generation that were not true believers may have got caught up in the
dark ideologies of the time.
4/5
