      Steve D Decent but far FAR too long. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review C 1900 (1976) was an excessively long, violent, and obscene movie. There was no drama or romance. It basically is a horror film guised as a historical drama. A lot of violence against women and animals. No heros, just thugs. Neither De Niro's nor Sutherland's best movie. A lot better historical drama to watch is Doctor Zhivago (1965). Seems like Hollywood was forgetting how to make a good movie, over a decade later. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/21/23 Full Review Josh G A beautiful soundtrack set to the slowest moving story ever made, all the cast are amazing it's so so damn long, I watched in three segments, it struggles with the same flaws as south pacific not showing parts of the war. But ever shot is a masterpiece must taken forever to film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/23 Full Review Emmanuel D Novenceto had everything to be one of the greatest movie of all time, unfortunately signore Bertolucci chose a quasi-documentary direction, which turned an epic romantic titan to a cold, cruel and melancholic colossus. Yet, the cast is amazing, the natural colors are beautiful, the story and the themes are fierce, the vilains are awfully great, and signore Morricone is at his best. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/23 Full Review marc w I say this in two shifts when it came out and it was very impressive. European arthouse movies are simply the best and this one is among the best of the best. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review s r 1001 movies to see before you die. A great cast squandered on a poor political drama and mediocre direction. It manages to take on Italian politics from 1900 to post WW2. The poor dialogue that didn't translate well was also undermined by the poor dubbing. It was tedious despite some good memorable scenes and contrived situations / cinematography. It was STG DVD. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      David Robinson Times (UK) The film falls away into simplistic political history quite out of scale with the ambitions of the rest. Apr 3, 2024 Full Review Patrick Gibbs Daily Telegraph (UK) Some finely composed pictures and some useful performances, but a film of no intellectual interest. Its purpose would seem to be to celebrate the inexorable march of Communism, which will no doubt be very satisfying to the comrades. Oct 5, 2023 Full Review Geoffrey Nowell-Smith Sight & Sound Its eccentricity, and the incorporation of this eccentricity into the staid format of the historical spectacular, proves to be its redemption. Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) I cynically enjoyed 1900 because it confirmed for me that Bertolucci is an interior decorator of megalomaniacal aspirations. [Full review in Spanish] Jan 18, 2024 Full Review Michael Bronski Gay Community News (Boston) It creates a complete, alternate universe that seduces you with its artistic and political visions and gives you not only the insight to what has happened, but what might be possible. Sep 16, 2022 Full Review Mandy Merck Spare Rib Patriarchal power is not only not challenged, it's positively celebrated. Sep 22, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
