1900
Robert Deniro + Gerard Depardieu
Genre: Drama
Starring: Donald Sutherland, Gerard Depardieu, Robert De Niro, Burt Lancaster, Dominique Sanda
Director: Bernardo Bertolucci
Release Date: November 4, 1977
:::Synopsis
1900 is an epic film of massive scope, power and controversy. It is both a vast history of 20th century Italy and an intimate portrait of two families. It is the story of the conflicts between two boys, both born on January 1, 1900. A peasant (Gerard Depardieu) and a landowner (Robert De Niro) pass through the upheavals of the modern world, and their personal conflicts become an allegory of the political turmoil of Italy. An astonishing international cast gives a magnificent ensemble performance as the people who lives affect, and are affected by, the rise of Fascism and Socialism.

If you are a Deniro and/or an Italian Cinema fan, you should have this one under your belt. Like, yesterday.
P.S. George Clooney = box office poison?? I don't know, but his performance in Michael Clayton confirms that he is unable to escape his own persona on the big screen.
That ain't acting.
Umm, so let me see, Mr. Clayton is from the East Coast and he does not have even the hint of an East Coast accent?
Hmm. Really.
The box office numbers aren't terribly impressive, either.
