Re: Did you get that...

Yeah, he interspersed a clip of Bande a Parte, wherein the sister makes exactly the same sharp turn, or breezes by someone in the same way, as Anna Karina, which was pretty well done...

But that part, for instance, sort of highlights the problems I had with the movie...seems like an item on a checklist or something.

Have you ever seen a film where you could criticize most every salient aspect of it, but something about it keeps you from disliking it? I thought the film was a worthy effort. His heart was in the right place...I'm not convinced it's quite the piece of vicarious eroticism you've pinned it as, though its being made by Bertolucci would certainly suggest that. Rather...well, obviously the 'incestuous' relationship was meant to suggest something about films, filmmakers, and viewers, but it managed to miss the mark. But I think that's more where the concern lies, I think he was genuinely making the effort at some allegory of youthful rebellion and that era of film, which is why the sex was so lackluster and incidental. They were naked, but they weren't really lustful...
