Chris V Aug 22 Pierre Clementi offers an excellent performance of two characters in this absurdist comedy. There are some very nicely framed camera shots in this movie. See more 05/13/2011 Boring and self indulgent Bertolucci. See more 02/11/2010 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... See more 02/28/2009 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. See more 02/19/2009 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> See more 09/16/2008 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.
