- Quotes
Olivia: [Olivia trying different hats on Lorenzo, left by Countess Nunziante in storage] Let me see this one. You know, I was doing photography a while ago. And video art. I even had some exhibitions. I won an important award when I was 18. It's true. I went to Los Angeles.
Lorenzo: Yeah, right.
Olivia: I did. But then I got messed up with dope and I stopped. The pictured that you saw are part of a series called 'I am the Wall'.
Lorenzo: What wall?
Olivia: It's a metaphor. Basically it's me becoming that wall, and entering the wallpaper, the plaster.
Lorenzo: Like a lizard.
Olivia: No, not like a lizard. In fact, I wanted to dematerialise. Me and you, if we didn't have our own point of view, we'd be the same, right? Without a point of view, we'd stop fighting each other, and accept reality for what it is, without judging it. Like... do you know Buddhism?
Lorenzo: But your not a Buddhist.
Olivia: Aren't I?
Lorenzo: No, you're always angry.
Olivia: It's not easy being a Buddhist. Besides, it's drugs that made me nasty. Before, I could pass through walls.
Lorenzo: Yeah, right.
Olivia: It's true. Do you like this dress?
Lorenzo: It's beautiful.
Olivia: Do you want me to put on a different one? Countess Nunziante was my size.
Lorenzo: All right.
Olivia: Ok.

Written and performed by David Bowie
The last feature film by Bernardo Bertolucci, the director who gave us The Last Emperor and The Last Tango in Paris.
It's essentially a film about the social pressure that teens are facing nowadays, and how they deal with this problem (Bertolucci was already 73 years old, the topic was a bit risky for him), and the final result is an ok film, but far from being memorable.
The story lacks on the characters background, but it does have what it takes to keep it from being tedious, thanks to the performances of Jacopo Antinori and Tea Falco.
The fact that only scratchs the surface of the issues and problems of the characters makes it difficult to connect with them.
