Critic Reviews
-
Vincent Canby, New York Times
It's Mr. Bertolucci's most rewarding, most invigorating film since Last Tango.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Perhaps the least known of Bertolucci's features, it is far from the least interesting.
-
, TV Guide's Movie Guide
As usual with Bertolucci, the film's style and bravura camerawork are clearly in the forefront, but the politics and social commentary never quite find their place.
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
Tragedy of a Ridiculous Man comes across as a parable about a son who dies and is reborn.
-
, Film4
Bertolucci has a sure eye for the shabby moral dilemma of his central character, and with that, he makes sly comment on the state of the Italian nation.
