Visually, this movie is amazing. As for the rest of it, the movie is kinda dull and slow paced and the main character isn't really that interesting to follow around.
I have a feeling that I may have to watch this one again sometime down the road. -

One of Bertolucci's best films, The Conformist makes a provocative connection between repressed sexual desires and fascist politics. It's an intriguing, elegantly photographed study of the twisted Italian character of the 1930s.

Bernardo Bertolucci?s first great film, this has long been unavailable but finally got a DVD release a year or two ago. Though it has a reputation as a thriller, this is really more of a character study. The film has rightly been praised for its visual beauty. The cinematography is clear and stunning, the set design is even better. There is a real political and psychological tension throughout, and the film was clearly an inspiration on many of the great 70s political thrillers. I?m definitely going to be buying this on DVD, I need to see it many more times.

Buenisima. Una vez más Jean Louis Trintignant demostrando porque es uno de los mejores actores franceses de todos los tiempos.

A Bertolucci's masterpiece about a man who wants a normal life and involves himself in a fascist organization.

This movie begins in an almost surreal fashion. Shown out of sequence, the viewer is left in the dark to what the great mission is. All we know is that it is somewhat sinister and a woman, close to the character, is somehow involved. Bertolucci takes the viewer through intentionally anti-climactic moments, such as the introduction of Hemlock and the blind man's party almost to upset the viewer.
But it's all intentional.
The movie becomes this powerhouse on the level of Julius Caesar, only far more down to earth. We see the cowardace of this man, willing to sell out the world for someone else's beliefs. The Conformist definitely deserves a viewing, if not two, simply because of the confusing nature of the film.
And if anyone's wondering, I watched it in Italian with English subtitles. No audio track really matches up, but Italian ain't half bad... -

Si Il Conformista est probablement l'oeuvre la plus acclamée de Bertolucci et que Bertolucci est probablement mon réalisateur italien préféré, ça ne signifie pas que les deux font automatiquement bon ménage. Naturellement, on s'aperçoit bien vite de la grandeur de l'oeuvre de par les réflexions qu'elle engendre, mais l'ambiance se veut beaucoup plus hermétique que Bertolucci ne nous l'avait instaurée dans 1900 ou La Luna.
Bien que le fascisme se veut, à mon avis, la dictature la moins intéressante parmi les quatres plus grandes (fascisme, nazisme, communisme, capitalisme), on se laisse quand même bien vite hypnotiser par les déboires de Marcello qui voit ses convictions se remettre en question par elles-mêmes, le projetant à nu, fébrile, dans une mission périlleuse qui tient pour enjeu le salut d'une dictature ainsi que la volonté moraliste de Marcello. -

Everything about this movie reeks of classic, from the casting to the dresses to the acting on through, of course, to the themes.

A masterpiece of drama/eros/noir/politics and entertaining regardless of whatever language you watch it in (but you'd better not watch it dubbed!!) Pre 'Godfather' genious

De tous les films artistique que j'ai vu, Le Conformiste de Bertolucci est sans aucun doute l'un des meilleurs. C'est surement parce que je n'avais pas vraiment de grande espérance avant de me lancer dans cette étude psychologique et social absolument incroyable.
Le film n'est pas raconté de façon linéaire et ne fourni pas toutes les réponses au spectateur, ce qui , je crois, ajoute un défi. Ce qui m'a le plus époustouflé est la parfaite maitrise de la caméra par Bertolucci. Je n'avais pas vu de mouvement de caméra aussi fluide et ingénieux depuis 81/2 de Fellini.
J'en aurais encore beaucoup à dire sur ce chef-d'oeuvre oublié mais le temps m'en empeche. -

The Conformist is an interesting character study of a man who is plagued by this past and upbringings, and as a result seeks to conform to society as well as the Fascist movement in pre-WWII Italy. The beautiful art direction and locations takes the viewer back to the 30's. The amazing use of color and lighting as well as the detailed compositions and complex camera movements make The Conformist the most visually stunning color film I have ever seen. Vittorio Storaro truly lives up to his reputation as one of the greatest cinematographers ever. The narrative is multilayered and hard to follow unless you pay careful attention.

This is a masterpiece of 1970's european cinema, made when Bertolucci was still only 30. I think it is his greatest film, shot on the border crossing between dream and nightmare.
