Complete disappointment
I caught this movie on cable and thought that it was a waste of time and celluloid.Bertolucci seems to have a fetish for young, nubile actors.I felt sorry for them.Nowhere is the crude nudity pushing the plot further.This is the most unerotic and unengaging movie.The characters are boring and none of their actions seems genuine.The story is very unrealistic,the characters are boringly, not endearingly immature and their conversations about cinema are contrite.At no point did I believe this people had the intellectual accumen to carry such lofty conversations.If you want to see a lovely French movie about movie buffs: I suggest the 80s movie Travelling Avant: far more interesting!

A stale story about beautiful shallow naked people
Yawn.I remember that in college I had to learn how to take really stupid ideas and build eloquent convincing arguments for them. Sometimes when an idea was especially stupid I would make it take as many pages as possible so that the reader would agree with me out of boredom or exhaustion. Others weren't so good at making a long argument, so they would opt to make theirs especially loud or vulgar.This is a movie about coming of age in the 60's in France. Still interested? Because don't let anyone lie to you, that is all this movie is about. Piled on top of this is nudity, vulgarity, nudity, incest, nudity, pretentious art snob debates, sex and more nudity. The story is about as complicated as a letter to penthouse, with more creative vulgarity. Ever wanted to see a movie with a main character who compulsively urinates into a sink? Here you go.What it really comes down to was that if you stripped away the eloquence, vulgarity, and exhausting layers of melodrama there would not be much of an story here to stand on its own. And thats what you'll have if you watch this film. Atmosphere. Atmoshpere and nudity.

A SUPERB, SEXY, BEAUTIFUL FILM FOR INTELLIGENT ADULTS

To me, this movie has it all. It's smart, sexy, and stunning to look at. I would make a great date night movie with some good take-out food and a bottle of wine, or an excellent first half of a double feature with any of the following:

THE RAPTURE

A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE

9 1/2 WEEKS

BODY HEAT

TEQUILA SUNRISE

NEW SEX NOW: Life's Ultimate Pleasure

GODDESS WORSHIP

EYES WIDE SHUT

SEXUAL INTRIGUE
