From Parma to Paris: Bernardo Bertolucci on His Early Films
FROM PARMA TO PARIS is the first part of an extensive career interview with Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci (1941-2018), conducted by Giovanni Spagnoletti in May 1989 in Bertolucci’s house in Sabaudia, Italy. Among the many topics discussed are the influence of Bertolucci’s father Attilio, a poet, his formative years as an assistant to Pier Paolo Pasolini, and every film Bertolucci directed up to and including IL CONFORMISTA (The Conformist, 1970). (Bertolucci talks about his next film, LAST TANGO IN PARIS, here.)
