While some of the dialogue may have been seat-of-the-pants, the structure of the film is far from haphazard. Close analysis reveals the type of smooth, virtually invisible camera moves that are only possible with precise blocking. The scenes flow in a surreal logic, with the opening and closing of doors serving as seamless transitions. Bertolucci is persistently manipulative in contrasting Schneider’s secret, primal relationship with Brando and her public interactions with her prissy filmmaker fiancé Tom (Jean Pierre Leaud, as a thinly disguised Truffaut).
