DVD: 40th Anniversary Review – Bernardo Bertolucci’s “Il Conformista”
As an avid film fan, I am always thinking about films that capture me, motion pictures that have remained etched in my mind. Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1970 political-drama ‘Il Conformista’ (1970) captures, in rich cinematography, the alienation of Marcello Clerici (Jean-Louis Trintignant): a man who subscribes to Italy’s Fascist politics and culture by agreeing to kill [...] -

DVD: Peter Whitehead and the Sixties (BFI)
DVD (4/5) I just watched the impressive DVD “Peter Whitehead and the Sixties” which is, in itself, a little masterpiece of curatorships. It bottles two great film-documents shot by Liverpool filmmaker Peter Whitehead between 1865 and 1967, specifically, “Wholly Communion” on the first beat happening at the Albert Hall in London in 1965 and “Benefit [...]
