Wow.
Yeah, "wow" is right. And come to think of it, I haven't watched LAST TANGO in over a decade and THE PASSENGER since it came out, so I might view them both entirely differently now. Especially post brain op.
I will try to do the same. I haven't seen either in three decades. I'm a Bertolucci fan - to me The Conformist is top five all time great films. And while I have't seen Spider's Strategem since forever, I always remember is being about "nostalgia for the present." which I can relate to.
I wish I could be on a cross country flight sitting next to Maria Schneider and talk with her for five hours.
Totally. THE CONFORMIST was my favorite film for many years. What was her name? Dominique Sanda or something like that. As fresh and indelible an impression was made by her as by Maria Schneider, only for different reasons. They were opposites in many ways, but in my own life were the dominant female figures in films for several years there in the 1970s.
