"**** 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.

"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 ... "

"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 sor ... "
