masterpieces. "Last Tango" has one of the greatest film performances (Brando, of course) and it's the best film I've seen about the autumn of a man's life. "The Conformist" is a classic, nothing more to say. Trintingant is brilliant. "Last Emperor," also, is a classic. I'd say, "Sheltering Sky" is in their class but I can see how some would be turned off by its unusualness. I found it, along with Antonioni's, "The Passenger," to be the best commentaries on the disaffection of modern man.
