When this film really sings, it's as if Bertolucci had tapped the wellspring of cinema and, ecstatic, discovered the eroticism at its essence.

The end of this near-masterpiece leaves one uneasy. It's hard to accept that Bertolucci, with his exhilarated sense of beauty, his love of pleasure, could accept the graying of China for any reason.

A fabulous facsimile of a movie, a frosting without a cake.
