    Few international directors over the past four decades have managed to remain as vital as Bernardo Bertolucci, who has become the most significant figure to emerge from the Italian Cinema of the 1960s. Influenced by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Jean-Luc Godard, and the later Luchino Visconti (as well as by Freud and Verdi), Bertolucci has created provocative, resonant portraits of history, family, and sexuality. His elegant visual style—characterized by fluid camera movement, meticulous lighting, symbolic use of color, and inventive editing, all most notably featured in The Conformist, a dazzling work—-has influenced several generations of filmmakers, from the American “movie brats” of the 1970s, such as Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, to the music video auteurs of the 1980s and 1990s. Other films that will be viewed and discussed include Before the Revolution, The Sheltering Sky, and Besieged. This class is taught by Temple University's Maurizio Giammarco, Ph.D., and will meet at Bryn Mawr Film Institute four Tuesdays in December from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm.
