Rare 35mm Print from Italy! THE CONFORMIST, 1970, Paramount Pictures, 107 min. Marcello (Jean-Louis Trintignant) is a weak-willed man with a troubled past - in other words, the perfect tool for a fascist organization looking to use him for espionage purposes. As Marcello and his equally shallow wife get drawn into the deadly plot, they soon learn the price of unthinking conformity in a dangerous world with warring agendas. Bernardo Bertolucci's breakthrough film is haunting, riveting and features some of the most gorgeous images ever put on celluloid. [35mm]
