Costumes from "The Conformist" (1970)

[Sefton]

Here are some pictures of the period costumes from the 1970 Italian film "The Conformist" Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. The costumes are by Gitt Magrini (L'eclisse,The Wild Child,1900). The film is set in 1930s Fascist Italy and (temporarily) free France. They capture the style of the era well and I couldn't find any anachronistic gaffs; flaired or too tight trousers,etc. I did spot a few male extras with too long hair and even sideburns but these transgressions are quickly forgotten among the wealth of spot-on details in this great film.

The wonderful Stefania Sandrelli

A very sexy scene with two lovely actresses: Dominique Sanda and Stefania Sandrelli. There were some excellent costumes in this crowd scene. A few very nice newsboy style caps (and some killer mostaccioed gentlemen! )
Cheers! Jon

it's an interesting film mainly for the lighting. especially as already noted above... in the dance hall scene, but definitely has the 30s via the 70s vibe.

if you want pure Bertolucci, for my money, see Last Tango in Paris and The Dreamers.

Great film! Nice bonus to find out the wardrobe was done accurately.
