The Conformist has been released in a spanking new and beautifully restored version dvd.

This is a must see film. It was directed by Bernardo Bertolucci and based on the novel by Alberto Moravia. It's the story of a young man in facist Italy who just desperatley wants to fit in. He takes on the job of going to Paris to rat out his old professor an mentor. This is a beautifully shot, complex and throughly engrossing film. It contains one scene that surely inspired the primary visual motif of Millers Crossing.

Please watch this gorgeous film.

And with that, for now, adieu. Over and out.

I just saw that on TCM in Nov(?).

You're right, that one scene does have a similar look and feel to what the Coen's later did.
