The Conformist / Il conformista / Italy/France/West Germany / 1970

This is pretty much the sexiest movie ever made, which is strange as it is also an allegory of fascism. And a clever one, too: it’s easy to be seduced by Storaro’s insanely overwrought camerawork and miss the intelligence of the film’s social, sexual, and political subtext. Trintignant’s refering to Stefania Sandrelli as very “bed and kitchen” is the funniest piece of Leftist misogyny ever.
