--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
