Description: A young man returns to the small Italian town, where almost thirty years ago killed his father is an anti – fascist.
Review: Bernardo Bertolucci removes his first picture about fascism. This «little» story, which happened in a small town.
Atos Magnani – a young man, at the invitation of the unknown, a middle aged woman comes to the homeland of his father and tries to understand the nuances associated with his death.
His father, also named Athos Magnani, a well-known fascist, was killed in the theater «cowardly» fascists. Meanwhile, learning the details of the son begins to understand, that all not so is simple, but the killer may still living in the town.
This is another experimental Bertolucci film. Bernardo never afraid to make mistakes. This time he boldly modifies the story Borges, changing the time and place of action (from Ireland to Italy).
Bertolucci uses retrospective screenings of works – unexpectedly for the audience, the film can be carried back. Instead of the son appears before us is his father, and all other characters are shown not young, and the same as we see them in the present tense.
Very nice to see in the picture no longer young Alidou valley. Participation – the decoration of the film. Unfortunately, its role is not sufficiently emphasized.
In my opinion, the film The Spider’s Strategem is not as convincing as it could have. If to proceed from the plot – it’s a real hit, not comparable with «Conformist».
At the same time, numerous experiments Bernardo and delays in the film (when quite correct timing, does not place of cinema among the masterpieces and substantially weakens the viewing experience.

THANKS! I asked for this a while ago and you said you didn’t think it fit. Glad you changed your mind. Masterpiece (and a sort- of Giallo but much better than any of them except a very few)
