Reviews for The Conformist
A powerful story well acted by a fine cast, it doesn't have the moral outcome you might imagine. An absorbing drama with a different, albeit downbeat, twist to it.

One of the most referenced and extraordinary films in cinema history.
02/29/08
One of the all-time greats, with a flabbergastingly deep mastery of time and space.

...remains his most intriguing -- probably his best -- film.

A beautifully imagined portrait of moral and political cowardice.

Bertolucci never made another film that even came close to The Conformist

"The Conformist" is Bernardo Bertolucci's immaculate work of cinematic art about the conflicted mindset of a man who carries out Mussolini's fascist ideology.
07/25/09
The exquisite reverie of a death dance (political and sexual), filmed by a wizard of barely sublimated eros.

Trintignant gives a legendary performance.
07/28/05

All hail the revival of one of Bernardo Bertolucci's best films.

More like a symphonic poem than a movie. Your breath is taken away by its baroque compositions.

Top CriticThis film nevertheless touches some issues that seem universal even today.
02/06/03
Bertolucci's masterpiece was controversial at the time due to its psycho-sexual approach to the fascist protag and to history, but what was beyond doubt was the film's spectacular visuals and sensual texture, its unity of contents, form and style.
