In Reply to: Bertoluci and his "Dreamers" posted by Victor Khomenko on February 22, 2004 at 13:59:11:
--With the possible exception of the Conformist I found all his films remind me of Hitler's and Stalin's architecture. Monumental in the bad sense of the world. Heavy. Not pleasing. Lacking elegance. Forgettable.Lots of strong words there. I won't respond with a counter-diatribe, but here are some Bertolucci films that I liked, at least the ones I remember as his -
Sheltering Sky
The Last Emperor
The Tragedy of a Ridiculous Man
Last Tango in Paris
The Conformist
Once Upon a Time in the West
Follow Ups:
Some of the most perfect storytelling I've seen on film.
Lofty pretentious piece of boring nothingness
Not a scene, actor, song, line of dialog or glimmer of humor to redeem it, anywhere
Film has already got what it really deserves; banishment to 3rd rank status at the videodrome, to be checked out ocassionally by those punters that know no better (until they have parted with their money and actually seen this; God help them)Awful, just awful
I probably would not call is just awful, but I agree with the first line... I thought it was pretty empty, except for a few O'Toole moments (I love that actor), but that was hardly enough to turn a mediocre film into good one.
The best thing in this film was the music.
