Awarded “Five Star” reviews during its theatrical re-release in 2008 by Empire (“Funny and frightening, seductive and satirical, ridiculous and tragic, this remains Bertolucci’s greatest film.”), BBCi Films (“One of the truly great films of the 1970s”), Time Out (“A dazzling film.”) and the Radio Times, amongst others, Bernardo Bertolucci’s undisputed masterpiece The Conformist comes to DVD and Blu-ray on 27th February 2012 for the first time in the UK courtesy of Arrow Academy.

At the peak of his creative powers the 29-year-old Bernardo Bertolucci eschewed the influence of mentor Jean-Luc Godard and partnered up with Vittorio Storaro and developed his own style for one of the most visually dazzling, politically and psychologically intriguing – and possibly greatest – of all Italian films.
