Director: Bernardo Bertolucci
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
An Oedipal parable, in which Matthew Barry's young junkie falls in love with his opera-singer mother (Clayburgh). Ravishing to look at, but the movie's real curiosity is the way it fails to reverse Bertolucci's usual preoccupations: it emerges that the boy's real problem is the lack of a father and need for a family - an emphasis that Bertolucci himself vehemently denies.Author: CA
