The Last Emperor is tedious, I want to go back to Last Tango in Paris or 1900. Still have to see The Conformist

The Spider's Strategem and The Conformist are his two best; he never made a terrible film, but even as early as 1900 he was beginning to slide. I'm a fan of many cerebral artists but I think Bertolucci second-guessed himself into a creative impasse.
