About the actors of this movie


It is interesting that so a beautiful movie is made with amateurs, not profesionist actors. Studying the cast of this film, I discovered that mostly of the actors played just in this one. Excepting Allen Midgette, who played the soldier.

I thought that the lack of professional actors enhanced the realism of this movie. Clearly the strength of the movie is its storytelling and filming. I like the way Bertolucci forces the viewer to figure out how all the characters in the film tie together in determining the identity of the killer.
