The Conformist (1970)

The Story

Considered one of the most complex, beautiful and significant films in cinema history, Bernardo Bertolucci's The Conformist returns to the big screen in a stunning new 4K restoration.

A riveting case study in conformism under a fascist regime, the film stars Jean-Louis Trintignant as Marcello Clerici, a mid-level Fascist functionary in Mussolini's Italy who is ordered to assassinate his former professor, an antifascist dissident in Paris. The Conformist is newly restored in 4K from the original camera negative by Cineteca di Bologna in collaboration with Minerva Pictures, under the supervision of Fondazione Bernardo Bertolucci.
