Format:DVD
1900 sets out to render the ideological difference between left and right, as good and evil, succeeds and overlays romance and the dilemmas associated with growing up in a world of conflict. Sutherland is suitably unpleasant and as we find out in the opening reel gets forked for his ways. De Niro amusingly looking nothing like his real old age version, Depardieu does what Gerard does best. A long ramble that is wonderful to look at if a bit stagey at times, there's overacting and underacting in equal measure due to the language (&star versus ordinary villagers as actors) mismatch, is there an Italian with english subtitles version?, if so I would prefer it. the frank and shock tactics still work, strangely, despite the passage of time since its release.

20th Century Fox originally released this DVD on April 30th, 2007 but they accidentally missed off the crucial, opening credit sequence lasting about three minutes. They re-released it on July 28th 2008 corrected, with the opening credit sequence in English rather than Italian, but about a minute shorter than usual. This classic is in a nice steelbook cover, and the second disc includes fascinating interviews with director Bernardo Bertolucci on the casting of and making the film. This is the first major picture in which Robert De Niro played the lead. A great edition from Fox; don't miss it.

Format:DVD
I originally saw this film in a 4 hour version over 30 years ago and always remembered if fondly. However viewing it now in its full 5 hours and one minute directors cut I find it a mixed bag. There is no doubt there is a sweeping good tale with great characters within this epic but there is also a lot of pretentiousness. The dubbing of some actors (Cast is part Italian, part American) is an unusual and sometimes annoying feature. The acting varies from over the top - Burt Lancaster/Donald Sutherland to the quite moving. One truly wonderful feature however is the magnificent cinematography. If you've not seen it before and and wish to fill a long wet evening you could do worse but ultimately its just too damn long.

Good film, most people will find it a bit long, but it does explore the full spectrum of human nature. Quick delivery, light packaging. Very good overall.

Ah 1900. A sprawling mess of a film. I couldn't take my eyes off it and loved every second. It's not just the stars acting their socks off or the stunning Italian locations, the... Read more

A magnificent Marxist soap opera with moments of greatness
1900 is a mixture of the good, the bad and the ugly of Italian cinema. Bertolucci's defiantly left wing political epic at times plays like a Sidney Sheldon doorstop novel as... Read more
