Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "The Conformist (1970 film)" in English language version.
There are various substandard prints of The Conformist available on DVD or the Internet, but this new release is the result of a 2011 restoration from original source materials, supervised by cinematographer Vittorio Storaro and approved by Bertolucci. The differences may be subtle in any given scene, but the film as a whole is far more intense, and seems less like an artifact of a bygone era.
