wait to see it again.
The cinematography alone is worth the voyage, for me.
BTW, your comments about the mom are spot-on, she was delicious and their interactions were incendiary.

Your perspective always gives me reason to pause and reconsider.
You're right about the cinematography. It is one of the brilliant "incidentals". Bertolucci was good on the eye. It's hard to name an Italian director who isn't.
Genius? Antonioni, yes; Bertolucci, not so much. LOL!
in their respective subjects, i.e. political/historical commentary; alienation of modern man.
Actually, as I reflect a tad more, that first category has another Bernardo contender, "The Last Emperor."
Those three masterpieces, I'd argue, favorably compare with the best of Michaelangelo. And then I'd add, "The Sheltering Sky."
"1900," mind you, for all of its flaws, is still a tremendous effort and is a failure only by the very high standards of his other works.
Your very different opinions also have given me new insights: I look forward to the Spall film.
I won't dispute any of this. I need to get back to all three top picks you mention.
Yeah, Bertolucci is a giant.
