Occasionally it comes off, and then it’s impressive. In the end, this movie feels like something that was not made with care but improvised on the spur of the moment. the scene with Paul’s dead wife), but on the whole his talent is used nowhere near its full potential. I’d say it contains some of his finest moments (e.g. 83), that this is the finest Brando performance I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t say, as Tennessee Williams did ( Memoirs, p. They don’t make much sense, which makes it hard to empathise with them. But the characters are little more than volatile caricatures. Good twenty minutes could be cut without any loss (much of Tom and the whole of Marcel, for instance). Bertolucci captures some haunting Parisian images, but the story, such as it is, drags and drags and drags. So far, so good.īut the dialogue is uneven, and even when it says something it doesn’t say as much as it pretends to. It’s an escapist illusion that finally crashes into reality. “He tried to rape me.” He did too, anally at that! Considering Jeanne’s moronic fiancé Tom, a filmmaker if you please (Bertolucci’s idea of self-parody?), and what we learn of Paul’s wife before she killed herself, the random fun and sex they have in that dinghy Paris apartment is the time of their lives. There is a nice ironic twist in the end, though. It finally boils down to a very ordinary melodrama and a “tragic ending” so contrived that it can’t be taken seriously. Two people, a young French woman and a middle-aged American widower, engaged in a bizarre romance, by turns tender and abusive. And yet, leaving aside Maria Schneider’s fine breasts and epic bush, the great title, the sultry soundtrack and the cheap “go get the butter” attempts to shock, what is left there? Its pretentious obscurity still makes it perfect for movie snobs, but it does contain some genuine substance. It is not erotic, much less pornographic just mildly provocative. It is slow and boring, but not unwatchable. I admit this movie is better than I remember it from the first time I saw it many years ago. Screenplay by Bernardo Bertolucci and Franco Arcalli
