Bernardo Bertolucci, Last Tango in Paris director, dies aged 77

The Conformist is a now overlooked film long overdue a reappraisal, and far more artistically successful and politically interesting than "1900", and better than his better-known work such as The Last Emperor.

I've only seen Last Tango, Last Emperor and Sheltering Sky - time to catch up on his output, for sure.

The Conformist is a genuine masterpiece. In fact I might watch it again as a tribute.

The general public mostly isn’t aware of film history pre-Star Wars but among film people The Conformist is still considered his masterpiece. It’s one of the most important and influential European films of the 60s.
