Yep. An all-around disappointment.
I've been revisiting Antonioni lately and really enjoyed the restrained, almost tentative performance Nicholson gave in that '60's icon, The Passenger. It gets better with repeated viewings.
His (Nicholson) balance was later slowly replaced with a reeking, almost constant hubris. I still want to like him, though.
By the way, what a master Antonioni is. It could have been his hand that touched Nicholson in such a way.

A great YUP on The Passenger. One of my favorite films. Since - tinear 16:49:52 02/16/07 (0)
Jack's performances reel from lampost to lampost, I assume it takes a special director to keep him in line.
Polanski in Chinatown managed the feat, too.
