The Conformist – Cinema Italiano
The UNITED and the Dante Society of Westerly present a screening of Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Conformist. A commentary on fascism and beauty alike, Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Conformist is acclaimed for its sumptuous visuals and extravagant, artful cinematography. Marcello Clerici is a member of the secret police in Mussolini’s Fascist Italy. He and his new bride, Giulia, travel to Paris for their honeymoon, where Marcello also plans to assassinate his former college professor Luca Quadri, an outspoken anti-Fascist living in exile. But when Marcello meets the professor’s young wife, Anna, both his romantic and his political loyalties are tested. Watch the trailer here.
