1900
Originally released:
1976
As any fule no, Hollywood was a better place in the 1970s: everyone was too coked-up to worry about 5-hour running times and the producers green-lighted even crazy Dennis Hopper's mad schemes. Wrong! With Last Tango having changed movies forever (© Pauline Kael), Bertolucci was given all the money in the world, plus many famous American actors, to create this epic, operatic story of peasant communism in Fascist Italy. It was cut to shit by the nasty money men, but in all honesty the film is toe-stubbingly awful, and as historically dubious as anything Michael Bay has done. It was a decade before anyone distributed another Bertolucci film.
