Synopsis

In this radical re-imagining of an artist’s life, Bernardo Bertolucci gives a first-hand account of cinema. A journey told in three languages (Italian, English and German) across the identity of an authentic and extraordinary master of the filmmaking craft. Directors Fasano and Guadagnino spent two years patiently and passionately looking at over three hundred hours of archival footage from around the world before completing this one of a kind essay documentary.
