This is a really terrific precis and starting with Freud makes sense. I loved the Bertolucci film in college and have seen it subsequently and was still swept away by thr imagery as the film unfolds. PK was right. It is an exercise in style and what an exercise. You however, have gone back to the text, which adds so much to my understanding of the film, which never got past the surface. For that, I thank you.
A great write-up of a phenomenal novel. I'd be very interested in hearing more of your thoughts about the film's failures.
thank you! i will try to get it together and write about it—these failures are as relevant as the book is today imo

Do you have a preferred translation of Moravia's Conformist?
