The Conformist15
Set in 1930s Italy, Marcello has spent his life accommodating others, in search for a sense of belonging. When he is drawn into the fascist party, he agrees to assassinate a political refugee who turns out to be his former college professor. A blend of thriller and political parable, Bernardo Bertolucci’s psychological portrait of a fascist flunky proved an inspiration to American directors such as Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and Michael Mann.
Our screening on Monday 9th June will be introduced by The Guardian’s film critic Peter Bradshaw.
Reviews
‘In this dazzling film, Bertolucci manages to combine the bravura style of Fellini, the acute sense of period of Visconti and the fervent political commitment of Elio Petri — and, better still, a lack of self-indulgence.’

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
