Cinema All’Italiana: The Conformist (1970) with post-film discussion

Marcello Clerici is a member of the secret police in Mussolini's Fascist Italy. He and his new bride, Giulia, travel to Paris for their honeymoon, where Marcello also plans to assassinate his former college professor Luca Quadri, an outspoken anti-Fascist living in exile. But when Marcello meets the professor's young wife, Anna, both his romantic and his political loyalties are tested. Each one of our Cinema All'Italiana screenings will be preceded by an intro from film scholar Kate Burney and followed by a post-film talkback.
