I feel like there's so much here that could be cut and it would still be a too-long epic that isn't about enough.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-82321925077292152082022-06-10T11:10:11.532-05:002022-06-10T11:10:11.532-05:00I cannot help thinking that Bertolucci missed s ch...I cannot help thinking that Bertolucci missed s chance for something more interesting than class struggle in the portrait of Italy in those years.

While I knew less about the history of Sicily I enjoyed the story of that film more.Julia Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041411551162128922noreply@blogger.com
