Bernardo Bertolucci's slightly psychological study of a teenage boy's subconscious quest for the father he has never known. Jill Clayburgh, a rather scrawny opera singer, is the mother he knows a little too well. A field day for Freudians and other symbolists; an ordeal for most everyone else. The claims on the viewer's attention -- the sudden throat-grabber, the violent mood-change, the thousand little irritations and irrationalities -- give the movie the personality of a spoiled brat. (1979) — Duncan Shepherd
