Turn off the left brain for this one, 23 November 2004
Author: George Briansky (georgebriansky@iprimus.com.au) from Melbourne, Australia

The overall plot deals with a young man drawn to his aunt set in Italy prior to its participation in the war.

If you watch this film looking at the plot, actor performances, whether it is well directed, etc, you will miss its beauty.

You need to relax, sit back and enjoy the juxtaposition of the visual over the music, especially in the last half. It is a wonderful experience. Bertolucci obviously decided not to conform to the intellectualism of Fellini or the structured approach of Zeffirelli.

The scene at the theatre, where the young man faces his aunt, set to the background of the opera is almost a dance.

Give the left brain a rest and enjoy.
