Review of The Conformist (1971) by Daniel P — 19 Mar 2016
A different kind of movie about fascism than we're used to in the 2000s--one that makes little use of the jackboots and black uniforms and waving banners that have become almost cartoony fetishizations--The Conformist is in many ways the simple story of a man who takes a job.
It's subtle and understated and chilling, a human story in an inhuman time that unfolds slowly, almost like a detective novel. It's rich in every shot and impossible to look away from. An absolute must-see.
