Il Conformista Trailer

Il Conformista', or 'the Conformist', is an award-winning 1970 film written and directed by the famed Italian filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci. 'Il Conformista' is a political drama which displays, through a series of biographic flashbacks, the preparations of the secret policeman Marcello Clerici to assassinate his former college professor Professor Quadri, who had taught him Plato's Allegory of the Cave and is now an outspoken anti-fascist political exile. In this task Marcello Clerici confronts the possibility of abandoning his duty to his young wife and the Italian State through either an escape into exile with his former mentor Professor Quadri, or an adulterous relationship his wife Anna Quadri. With fluid camera movements, rich colors, and an authentic 1930s wardrobe, 'Il Conformista' highlights the surrealism of political life within a fascist state, and questions whether the circumstances of the modern world might allow a person to both adhere to their values and live a fulfilling family life.

@jillhathaway I don't know the song which plays during the video. Perhaps you could try to search the soundtrack from the film.
