This week's movie is ultra-cool. For a design class I'm taking at the moment we were advised to watch 'Il Conformista', Bertolucci's quiet but hair-raising take on Mussolini's Italy. It's incredibly beautifully shot, as you might expect, and the way that he interacts between Italian style past and present really makes Julie Taymor look like a total amateur. (I love her 'Titus', with ITS interactions between ideas of Rome, but she doesn't have a hope of competing with the imagery in this film. It's pretty astonishing stuff…)
Speaking of Julie - anyone seen Spiderman?!
