Re: Sight and Sound (2002) Greatest Films Club

about The Conformist, I just thought to point out that the star of that movie (among many other famous roles in his career) was also Jacob's co-star in Red, Jean-Louis Trintignant.
I knew his name sounded familiar! Didn't recognize him though and I just didn't follow up on IMDB. Damn, I may really have to rewatch the trilogy again soon...

I really gave The Conformist short shrift in my comments. There's a lot more to it than just the cinematography and I found all of it enjoyable. The weak-willed Clerici's need to conform to fascism as well as societal expectations (marriage) sets him up for his eventual downfall.

As well, I'll echo that Z is terrific.
