Review of The Conformist (1971) by Randy T — 14 Jun 2009
The 'look' of Bertolucci's Conformist is stunning. The locations, the lighting, the overall cinematography - just beautiful. Having given that quarter, I have to say that this wouldn't rank among my top 100 films. Much like the hitman's limp commitment to his cause, I found myself disconnected and indifferent to his circumstance. After all, what does he really accomplish? And why should I care?
Look, this is a milestone film and I applaud Bertolucci for it's inception and presentation, but I still feel that he has at least two films that outshine this one. Simply a good motion picture that's a tad over-rated.
