At AFI Silver
Screening of Bertolucci‘s Il Conformista followed by a lecture and a Q&A with three-time Oscar winner Vittorio Storaro, and a screening of clips from the main movies the famous Italian cinematographer has worked on.
Il Conformista is based on Alberto Moravia‘s novel by the same title. The desperate quest to belong undertaken by a bourgeois Italian during the fascism of the 1930s. Jean-Louis Trintignant portrays Marcello Clerici, a man fearful of his identity—both socially and sexually — whose maniacal obsession with normality leads him to fascist politics, an ill-fated marriage, a dangerous affair and the betrayal of a kindly mentor.

Among his other novels adapted to the big screen are Agostino, filmed with the same title by Mauro Bolognini in 1962; Il Disprezzo (A Ghost at Noon or Contempt), filmed by Jean-Luc Godard as Le Mépris (Contempt) (1963); La Noia (Boredom), filmed with that title by Damiano Damiani in 1963 and released in the US as The Empty Canvas in 1964; and La Ciociara, filmed by Vittorio de Sica as Two Women (1960) and featuring Sofia Loren.
