The long slow plot kept this film out of the gem category, but the look and acting pushed it up from just watchable. Made in 1970, Bernardo Bertolucci, stretched the boundaries of style as he tells a story of one man's tragic life.
As the story unfolds we see an Italian fascist who finds himself trying to fit in so he agrees to marry a girl beneath him in status. He gets deeper into the "party business" when he's asked to go to Paris and kill his former philosophy professor.
While I watched it in the dubbed English, do watch the Italian if you can handle the subtitles. I watched a few scenes and film flows much better in its original language. Also check out the special features where you get to see more about the beautiful cinematography.
