It didn't fail with me, that's for sure. Yes, there are better films, perhaps more balanced, with better rythm, but something like that can be said of almost any film.The 1900 is like a ten foot person among perhaps 98% of all films ever made.
Follow Ups:
it is by Bertolluci: one expects more of a god of film. Second, the cast is beyond reproach.
That being said, I agree with your placement of it; similarly, a fine winemaker's worst effort is better than a mediocre one's best bottling.
No matter its considerable faults, I still find myself watching it every couple of years.
Now, as to your high opinion of "The Garden of the Finzi-Contini"....were it not for Dominique Sanda, it would be forgettable...altogether too self-consciously self-pitying.
I let it yours....
