Review of The Conformist (1971) by Fionnuala H — 20 Mar 2008
An astonishingly odd film... "The Conformist" appears to divide neatly into two halves (in Rome and Paris), but subdivides within these comforting parameters into jarring flashbacks, memories and fantasies, and even switches its strategies from scene to scene as required.
The result is like no other political thriller, no other literary adaptation, and not very much else around, then as now.
