Audience Member Boring and self indulgent Bertolucci. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member watching the film right now. Feels like I am watching a late Godard film, the ones I don't like. 5 minutes in, there is a scene with a shadow of a chandelier spinning. it qas clearly intentional and would stop and than change direction. very distracting, I have no idea what happened in the scene... interesting how he'll cover an entire scene in a wide shot... Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Well, I don't know if it would be fair for me to say that I suspect Bertolucci was trying to emulate Goddard's style with this film. I mean, he has acknowledged him as a major influence, and his style is referenced a few times throughout the the movie; so I don't know. The film has it's moments of clarity, but I tend to agree with others about the fact that Partner seems a bit uneven. Maybe it's meant to be that way, but I think the director, much like the main charecter, was trying to find his own way. I'll have to read the Dostoyevsky story and then watch this again. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member An inspiration for Fight Club, for sure, Bertolucci's film is, undoubtedly, an art film. The narrative is almost non-existent, and the plot is thin. It follows little logic and seems a compilation of visualized ideas. Of course, there's nothing wrong with this, but it's important to know that you aren't getting the dramatic punch you might from the director's other films. Seems more of a Godard picture than Bertolucci's later works. Still recommended. <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/?action=view¤t=partner.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/partner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A bizarre film about a drama teacher who, when contemplating suicide, has his exact double appear. His double pushes him to do things that he normally wouldn't do. It gets very abstact, and loses it's focus, and sort of picks it up at the end. I need to watch it again to truly get a fell for it. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Great performance from the actor, but there's a very good reason this is not better known.
