More of an aesthetic venture than an actual filmic one. Deservedly praised for it's cinematography even if it is more than just reminiscent of Lawrence of Arabia. Especially the gimmick of panning from right to left almost throughout the film to symbolize a journey. Some good performances makes it worthwhile, but ultimately too long. The last third is virtually without dialogue, and it didn't really capture me thoroughly so I gradually lost interest in where our characters went. Both geographically and psychologically.

A painfully long movie...

The worst!!! When its finally over you find yourself asking, how can so many talented people make something this pretentious and odious.

Bertolucci's worst film. I would rather tear my eyes out than see this again.
