Bertolucci on Bertolucci

Few filmmakers have had as enduring an impact upon the art of filmmaking as Bernardo Bertolucci. Over a 50-year career, spanning such classics as The Conformist, Last Tango in Paris and The Last Emperor, Bertolucci has reshaped Italian, art house and Hollywood cinema, as well as winning almost every film award you might care to name. Now cinephiles Luca Guadagnino and Walter Fasano have compiled the essential document of this titan’s life in his own words. Cutting together hundreds of hours of interviews and archival footage, Guadagnino and Fasano let the Italian master be the judge of his own legacy, providing a rare first-person tour through one of the world’s most important cinematic minds.
