Soggettiva Bernardo Bertolucci: Doppia Autobiografia

Fondazione Prada, in collaboration with Fondazione Bernardo Bertolucci, presents the film program “Soggettiva Bernardo Bertolucci: Doppia Autobiografia.”

Fondazione Prada’s project “Soggettiva” has so far explored the biographies, the hidden passions and the imagery of movie directors and artists such as Alejandro González Iñárritu, Damien Hirst, Theaster Gates, Luc Tuymans, Nicolas Winding Refn, Pedro Almodóvar, John Baldessari, Danny Boyle and Ava Du Vernay. It has revealed the centrality of specific films in their personal and creative education and the ability of cinema to nurture different fields of visual production. This latest chapter of “Soggettiva” aims to identify specific connections and cross-references between nine films by Bertolucci realized between the 1960s and the 1970s and as many feature films by Italian and international authors such as Pier Paolo Pasolini, Jean-Luc Godard, Agnès Varda, Mario Schifano, John Ford, Jean Renoir, Max Ophüls, Aleksandr Dovzhenko and Douglas Sirk.
