CinemaScore pollster Dede Gilmore reported the trend in 1993, "Most movies get easily a B-plus. I think people come wanting the entertainment. They have high expectations. They're more lenient with their grades. But as (moviegoers) do it more and more, they get to be stronger critics." In 1993, films that were graded with an A included Scent of a Woman, A Few Good Men, and Falling Down.
His biggest hits were Poor, But Handsome (Poveri ma belli), followed by two sequels, which he also directed; A Difficult Life (Una vita difficile); The Easy Life (Il sorpasso); Opiate '67 or, in a cut version, 15 From Rome (I Mostri); and Scent Of A Woman (Profumo di Donna), which was remade by Martin Brest starring Al Pacino in 1992.
His story Il buio e il miele was made into two films: Dino Risi’s Profumo di donna, with Vittorio Gassman, and Martin Brest’s Scent of a woman, which earned Al Pacino an Academy Award for Best Actor.
Starting in 1993, Berardinelli started publishing reviews in Usenet by reviewing Scent of a Woman.
He first came to national attention in the early 1990s as the dance choreographer for the film "Scent of a Woman", where he trained Academy Award winner Al Pacino for the notable (and arguably, most memorable) scene of the film where he dances the Argentine Tango with actress Gabrielle Anwar.
The author Enrico Giacovelli referred to the film as "a kind of Scent of a Woman but more ambiguous, midway between Luigi Pirandello's Henry IV and The Late Mattia Pascal".
