Episode 585: The Conformist (1970)

Released in 1970, Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Conformist is set primarily in 1938 Europe. We follow the life of Marcello Clerici (Jean-Louis Trintingnant), the titular conformist, a man who tries desperately to fit in and follow the party line.

Samm Deighan and Dahlia Schweitzer join Mike to discuss this gorgeous, unsettling film.
