2012/13 Season

THE CONFORMIST

Italy/France/Germany 1970 (15) 108 minutes Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci

Ipswich Film Theatre - 12 November 2012 - 7.30pm This is set in the 1930s when the son of socially disgraced parents attempts to rehabilitate himself with the Mussolini regime by becoming a political flunky, and ultimately an assassin. Trintignant is mesmerising and Vittorio Storaro’s cinematography beautiful at a time when political cinema tended not to be. AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Excellent does not do it justice; Brilliant camera work, beautifully filmed; Stylish and enigmatic; Impressive to watch but difficult to follow; I need an explanation; A muddled long-winded mess – just about saved by the acting; Boring film!
