Your (comparative) unfamiliarity

with Bertolucci's best film is astounding. How could one not KNOW "The Conformist?"
Don't tell me you want to argue some of Antonioni's "high art" paint-dryers are great? Historically important doesn't make them so, unless one feels that Joyce's "Ulysses," is also great (never met a truthful person that had read it.)
If it's boring, it ain't great (see "Hamlet").
Now, I dare anyone with at least two active neurons, and with less than a liter of strong espresso in them, to stay awake during any of Eisenstein's historical films. Jesus, only Tarkovsky is s-l-o-w-e-r. So, what kinds of methamphetamines do you indulge? (And it's bogus to compare "The Hidden" to a film in another genre; how would one compare "2001..." to "Mr. Hulot?"
