This, by @szacharek, is the best piece I have read on Bernardo Bertolucci's legacy, and a searching, truly thoughtful piece of criticism. https://t.co/07NuKrY1D5— Mark Harris (@MarkHarrisNYC) November 29, 2018

I was about to link to it.

I wish she'd mentioned the later films besides TLE and The Dreamers but a fine piece.

Terrific piece.

I watched his first feature, La commare secca, last night and it's pretty good (murder of a prostitute, quasi-Rashomon style). The producer had a Pasolini scenario that PPP didn't have time to make, so he and his co-writer were told "Write it like Pasolini," who had made only Accatone at that point. (BB had been an assistant on that one)

also it's not really a "rip" of Rashomon in that, unless I missed something, the different segments don't show contradictory events.

I was thinking someone might play Kael, but she figures in after-the-fact.

In a Twitter thread about this, someone says "This seems immoral..."
Depicting unpleasant history is now inherently immoral?

I Love Film...Think I'll move this to another thread.

Last Tango in Paris was kind of boring in the end
Robert de Niro and Gerard Depardieu were very hot in 1900

The Last Emperor is tedious, I want to go back to Last Tango in Paris or 1900. Still have to see The Conformist

The Spider's Strategem and The Conformist are his two best; he never made a terrible film, but even as early as 1900 he was beginning to slide. I'm a fan of many cerebral artists but I think Bertolucci second-guessed himself into a creative impasse.
