The Conformist**    

(Ita/Fra 1970)                

In 1930s Paris a fascist hitman on the hunt for dissenters also tries to come to terms with his own identity.
Atmospheric and stylish 30s European melodrama, a world away from most other product of the 70s (apart from the permissiveness) with this director as usual making very beautiful pictures (literally at times) that only occasionally have relevance to the story, but certainly convey Paris in a hauntingly beautiful mixture of colourful light and shade.

Producer: Giovanni Bertolucci.
Starring: Jean-Louis Trintignant, Stefania Sandrelli, Dominique Sanda, Gastone Munchin, Enzo Taroscio, Pierre Clementi.
