Bertolucci, co-writing with his longtime collaborator Franco Arcalli, uses operatic structure (arias by Verdi and Donizetti punctuate the score) to heighten emotional excess.

Critics have noted the influence of psychoanalysis—particularly the work of Carl Jung (the moon as symbol of the unconscious and the mother archetype).
