The Conformist

Recommended Posts

Bernardo Bertolucci directed it but my love for this movie mostly stems from the amazing cinematography by Vittorio Storaro, who also has a canon entry from his work on Apocalypse Now. Just do a google image search for the Conformist if you have not yet seen this movie. Every shot is so well composed and beautiful.

It's also streaming on Netflix, which feels random, but whatever. Anyway, yeah. It's a great film. Definitely check it out, if you haven't.

Yes! One of my favorites as well. Other people have already mentioned the amazing cinematography by Vittorio Storaro, but I want to mention the story as well. I think it's one of the best films to explore the nature of fascism and other ideologies like that. By focusing on a man who just wants to belong to something, regardless of how twisted that ideology is, it really drives home the idea behind the banality of evil, so to speak. I think that makes the film worthy of discussion for the Canon.
