"Bertolucci: 140 Images" Exhibition
Art Directors Club Gallery
This event has ended.
In honour of the Bernardo Bertolucci retrospective co-produced by The Deapartment of Film, The Museum of Modern Art, New York and Cinecittà Luce, Rome. Curated by Marcello Garofalo.
The exhibition, entirely dedicated to Bernardo Bertolucci, gathers 140 pictures taken from the back-stages of the most important movies of the great Italian director. A fascinating itinerary that goes across the important movies of the past (Prima della Rivoluzione, Ultimo Tango a Parigi, Novecento) getting through the big productions (L'ultimo Imperatore, Il Tè nel Deserto, Il piccolo Buddha) to finallyarrive at the recent works (L'Assedio and The Dreamers).
The pictures, taken by the set photographers Alessia Bulgari, Angelo Novi, Marilù Parolini, Giovanni Lunardi, immortalize moments of life on the sets and show the director on-the-job with “his” actors: from Robert De Niro to Marlon Brando, from Jean Louis Trintignant to Stefania Sandrelli, from Gerard Depardieu to Roberto Benigni, from Peter O'Toole to John Malkovich. A voyage through Bernardo Bertolucci's movies that he summarizes with few enlightening words: “... it causes me a strange reaction. I fell like I'm getting into a state of semi-somnambulism. These pictures represent the unconscious of my movies, which is the mirror of mine”.
