Year: 1970
Director: Bernardo Bertolucci
Plot: The conformist is 1930s Italian Marcello Clerici (Jean-Louis Trintignant), a coward who has spent his life accommodating others so that he can "belong." Marcello agrees to kill a political refugee, on orders from the Fascist government, even though the victim-to-be is his college mentor. The film is a character study of the kind of person who willingly "conforms" to the ideological fashions of his day. In this case, director Bernardo Bertolucci suggests that Marcello's desire to conform is rooted in his latent homosexuality. In addition to its strong storyline, the film is critically revered for the astonishing production design by Nedo Azzini, which, together with Vittorio Storaro's camerawork, recreates the atmosphere of Fascist Italy with some of the most complex visual compositions ever seen on film, filled with highly stylized uses of angles, shapes, and shadows. The Conformist was cut by five crucial minutes when first released in the US; those missing moments were restored in the 1994 reissue. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Body: I got into photography when I was in the junior high. I joined a couple of groups, took assigned artistic shots, learned about lighting, color, shutter speed etc.. I really loved still photography as an art and throughout high-school, I was on the newspaper and yearbook staff as a photographer. I think this is the reason that cinematography has always been the one aspect of motion pictures that has held the most weight for me. Well, I could talk about a lot of different shots and films. (Here's my list of good stuff) But, for my money, the discussion of my favorite example of great cinematography starts and ends with Apocalypse Now. This was probably the first film I ever fell in love with on an artistic level and it's unique in the fact that throughout the years, I have maintained a love for this movie. I can't really think of any movies that I first saw when I was in high-school and I still feel the same way about. The cinematographer in that film was Vittorio Storaro, who's had his share of great shots with Bernardo Bertolucci's The Conformist and The Last Emperor. But the one shot of his that has been the most influential in my life had to be when Capt. Willard (Sheen) pops his head out of the water towards the "end" of Apocalypse Now. The combo of dim light and the brilliant moon reflecting off of the water created a perfect and completely unforgettable moment that captured beautifully by the camera.

I always respect Bertolucci's eye for cinema but his characters are always too messed up for me - psychologically, emotionally, and especially sexually. He also doesn't seem to get that less is sometimes more. However, I will always respect him for his writing contribution to one of my favorite cinematic masterpieces - Once Upon a Time in The West.

Body: **** out of 5 stars Directed By: Bernardo Bertolucci Starring: Jean-Louise Trintignant, Stefania Sandrelli and Gaston MoschinLanguage: Italian with English subtitles Released: 1970 Synopsis: The backdrop of this movie is Mussolini’s Italy in the 1930s. This is the story of Marcello (Trintignant), a man who has a life long affliction with sticking out in a crowd and is desperately trying to find normality in his life. Every action he is taking is an effort to blend in and be accepted. He is constantly regarded as an oddball because of his general demeanor and lack of emotion. He joins a group of secret fascist police, assigned to carry out assassinations and other dark deeds to individuals that are hurting their political cause. He even goes so far as to marry someone he regards as an unintelligent and mediocre young woman, Giulia (Sandrelli) in an attempt to further his ability not to attract unwanted attention. He is taking his new bride on their honeymoon in France when he is given his assignment. A former professor has defected from fascist Italy and is now considered an intellectual dissident. It is Marcello’s job to eliminate him. Soon, we learn from flashback scenes why Marcello has lived his life in constant fear of being noticed and why his life has been anything but ordinary. Review: This film is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time, although I may be partial to the philosophically charged theme the setting. I couldn’t help but compare this film to Costa-Gavras’ Z (1969), another European film with a similar feel and subject matter. While I don’t regard this film as the same level of masterpiece as Z, it did prove to be superior in a few areas. One of these areas was the cinematography. This film had some awing and very beautiful shots along with a variety of camera angles that gave it a more artsy edge. Watching it, definitely gives the impression that the filmmakers were ahead of their time and put forth an extra effort to keep the audience intrigued. The only character we really get to know throughout the story is Marcello and although Jean-Louise Trintignant’s performance was great, I felt as though the development of him as a personality was a little lost. I thought the filmmakers could have done more to clue the audience in as to why he turned out the way he did and why he was an interesting candidate for the job selected. As I said before, I am typically biased for any film that deals with this subject matter. I am especially biased when the film takes a philosophical approach to convey the story. That being said, I still think this was a very powerful and important film that should be watched by anyone who has an interest in this important piece of the world’s history.

Body: This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown”. To read more about that check out my first Spout filmblog entry.Il Conformista (The Conformist)There is some amazing cinematography and composition in this movie. I am still completely baffled by the scene where they are making love on the train with the sunset in the background. I have never seen anything like that in a movie before. Even with CGI now, it's just a composition of colors that just seems unattainable. I don't know how they did it.Apart from a number of absolutely stunning images like this, the rest of the movie was largely dull and alienating to me. I cared nothing from pretty much all of the characters. They all seemed distant to me.The movie seems so entrenched in a certain time and place and maybe even stuck in the mind of the filmmakers that perhaps I would have appreciated it more if my history was closer to that context. I do also understand that the Marcello is supposed to be sort of without peresonality. He's the CONFORMIST. But I still feel like I was missing something. I'm not going to speculate on it for too long though.Rating: 4/10

Body: Here’s the dilemma. I have a list of well over three thousand movies I want to see saved on IMDB. I have a subscription to Netflix and recently every time I return a DVD it has been an extremely arduous task to make the decision as to which movie I should see next. In an effort to narrow down my choices and make the process of choosing slightly less overwhelming I have devised a system, almost a bit of a game for me. Here’s how it goes.For my first film selection, I have narrowed the options down to only films that were released in the year 2006. Then after I have watched that movie, my next selection would have to be a film released in 2005. Then I would see a film from 2004, then 2003, etc. The process of deciding is still laborious, but actually quite a bit more exciting. (I'm going by IMDB as my source for release years)I have already been making a list and have also already begun watching the films. I decided this might be a good time to start fooling around with this spoutblog I have until now left unutilized. So I’ll try to start writing a little blurb or so about each movie I watch in this process.My only limitation here is of course movies that are available on Netflix. Which sadly excludes several I know are available on DVD, and have been longing to see for a long time, but Netflix just doesn’t seem to have available. It’d sort of annoying how they do list quite a few movies that that you can put in your queue under “saved”, yet they obviously do not have available. I have countless movies in that unavailable but saved queue, and I’m not sure that a single one has ever become available. What’s the point I wonder.But if anyone has any recommendations, I'll take that into consideration. THANK YOU!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------New addition to this post:Today is Tuesday March 13, and I have completed a preliminary list of all of the movie I will be watching. Unfortunately many of them were not available on Netflix. I will hunt those down some day.
