For American filmmakers, the Oscars is like a mystic thing. For me, it was being in a mirror of my dreams when I was dreaming of Hollywood when I was an adolescent.
From Bernardo Bertolucci
What always made me proud - almost blushing with pride - is that Francis Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg all told me that 'The Conformist' is their first modern influence.
The conformist understands that the reason of his desperate look for conformism is that he realises he is different and that he never accepted his difference.
I was writing poems when I was young, you know, because my father was a poet, so it was absolutely normal to follow my father.
I wanted already to be a filmmaker after I saw 'La Dolce Vita.'
The problem in Hollywood is that they try to become the only kind of cinema in the world, okay? The imposition everywhere of a unique culture, which is Hollywood culture, and a unique way of life, which is the American way of life.
