The Conformist

A dazzling movie.

Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci

Produced by Marianne Productions, Maran Film

A visually stunning, psychologically complex examination of moral compromise and the psychological roots of fascism, told through the fractured consciousness of a man fleeing his own humanity.

A weak-willed Italian man becomes a fascist flunky who goes abroad to arrange the assassination of his old teacher, now a political dissident.
