Coolly enigmatic French screen icon Jean-Louis Trintignant delivers two of his most acclaimed performances in these politically charged masterpieces. First, he’s the titular fascist flunky—a member of Mussolini’s secret police on a mission to assassinate his former mentor—in Bernardo Bertolucci’s THE CONFORMIST, a visually stunning psychosexual thriller awash in 1930s Deco decadence. Then, Trintignant is once again embroiled in political intrigue in Costa-Gavras’s electrifying international sensation Z, in which he plays the tenacious magistrate determined to uncover the truth behind the murder of a prominent leftist.
