The director Bernardo Bertolucci once said that Castel in this film reminded him of “a young Marlon Brando … always ready to explode.” The following scene—in which Alessandro amuses himself by making up hideously violent headlines (including a story about matricide) while reading the newspaper aloud to his mother—perfectly illustrates the aptness of Bertolucci’s comparison: Castel’s performance has a Brando-esque lazy yet aggressive physicality and suggestion of a kind of internal scream that brings the character most vividly to life.
