It is difficult for Bertolucci to rarely play this level of editing later. The script is perfect, even if you criticize his good frame for holding back a lot of deep expressions (compared to the director's old spider strategy), you have to admit that this film is a perfect narrative that spans time and space, thinking in the way of To Qifeng, and Bertolu later Qi has spent his whole life remaking section after section of this movie, like Wong Kar Wai's True Story, Cassavetes' Shadow, Scorsese's Mean Streets.

The editing and colors are super-beautiful, and the flamboyant lust of the drama, in the mainstream of the times, complements the gray political background, and the winding paths under the small incisions lead to seclusion. The hero is lonely, the beauty is withered. Compared with the previous one, the "love" part is heavier.

Italo: A normal man? For me, a normal man is one who turns his head to see a beautiful woman's bottom. The point is not just to turn your head. There are five or six reasons. And he is glad to find people who are like him, his equals. That's why he likes crowded beaches, football, the bar downtown...
Marcello: At Piazza Venice.
Italo: He likes people similar to himself and does not trust those who are different. That's why a normal man is a true brother, a true citizen, a true patriot...
Marcello: A true fascist.

Giulia: He'll be a typical intellectual, disagreeable and impotent.
