bertolucci's masterpiece
an astounding mix of visual splendour and gripping action, this adaptation of moravia's novel works on numerous levels - political thriller, parade of amazing images (filmed by the same cinematographer who worked on 'Apocalypse Now' and unsparring depiction of the surrender of the weak to the appeal of fascism.
