LAB 111

We’re proud to present the brand-new trailer for our re-release of Bernardo Bertolucci’s searing indictment of fascism, complicity and the terrifying effects of political conformity, Il Conformista. One of the most visually astonishing films ever made, this hypnotic psychological thriller follows a repressed bureaucrat, chillingly portrayed by Jean-Louis Trintignant, who becomes ensnared in the fascist machinery of 1930s Italy and is tasked with murdering his former professor. With Vittorio Storaro’s masterful cinematography (Apocalypse Now) and Bertolucci’s elegant, expressionistic direction, Il Conformista is a dazzling study in style and subtext, probing themes of power, repression, and the seductive pull of conformity. The film has inspired generations of filmmakers, from Coppola to Scorsese, and remains a defining icon of European film history. Experience the political urgency and visual splendor of this classic starting March 19th, now fully restored in 4K by the Cineteca di Bologna. Trailer by .azman. 🇮🇹
