Bernardo Bertolucci directs this powerful psychological thriller,
considered by many to be his masterpiece. Jean-Louis Trintignant
stars as Marcello Clerici, a weak-willed young Italian who, owing
in part to the torment of his repressed homosexuality, is desperate
to appear normal to the outside world. To this end, he joins
Mussolini's fascist party as an undercover agent and undertakes to
assassinate his former university professor (Enzo Tarascio), a
left-wing political dissident who has fled fascist Italy for Paris.
Arriving in Paris to carry out his deadly assignment while on
honeymoon with his bride Giulia (Stefania Sandrelli), Marcello
discovers that the professor is now married to the dangerously
seductive Anna (Dominique Sanda), whose unfettered bohemianism and
bisexuality hypnotise him even as they throw his own pallid
conformism into stark relief.
