The Conformist (1970)

The Conformist (1970) -- B. Bertolucci

Without a doubt, I was missing something by watching this on my laptop -- I can only imagine what these stylish images would look like draped across the big screen. Storaro's cinematography marked by the amazing use of light and color is what this film is about -- the story itself (offering to explain why someone might become a Fascist in 1930s Italy because of a childhood incident) left me a little cold, though I can see that its flashback structure is innovative and dreamlike. Having seen it now, I'd like to watch it again in a cinema, just to marvel at how it was put together.
