Sentences with phrase «much beauty steals»

Not exact matches

Stealing Beauty's correlations with the later The Dreamers — a ripe lead with bee - stung lips; a moment in which the 19 - year - old protagonist nestles a paramour's photograph against an erogenous zone (a gesture Jonathan Rosenbaum called in his review of The Dreamers «the perfect encapsulation of Bertolucci's idea of a turn - on»); scatological punchlines; an unlikely virgin; shock nudity — are numerous and sundry, so much so that one would like to call the newer film an apologia.

Though a critic quoted on the cover references Bertolucci's Stealing Beauty, this film focuses on a much younger protagonist, so there's nothing here that's more than vaguely racy.
