watch it, but not for the story
First off, you should consider that the two main themes of this film, back in 1979 would have been edgy and far more interesting than today.La Luna is the “eh, not great” story of a single mother who is distant from her child, and when she discovers that he’s using heroin, she tries to fix it by becoming close. Very close. Excessively close.
Bertolucci is a fine director and this is a old-skool film that has solid acting and a quality production, but storywise it leaves a lot to be desired. However, i would still advise you to watch it if you can, for one reason: it was almost entirely shot in Rome. Shot in 1979, back when there were no billboards, no traffic, and everything was still the way it had been for centuries, back when it truly was The Eternal City.
In other words .. the locations are gorgeous.
The rest, not so much.
my vote: 7.5/10 for the location, 6.5/10 for the story.
