I don't see my movies. When you ask me about one of my movies, it just goes in my memory because maybe sometimes I confuse one for another. I think all movies are like sequences, which is the body of my work.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
I started very, very young to make movies - I was 21. And at the age of 27, 28, I'd done already three movies.

I don't see my movies. I think it's healthier and safer to keep a bit of distance. I'm afraid to be disappointed.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
'Dreamers' was because I really wanted to go back after I heard so much nonsense about '68. I wanted to go back to what for me was '68, when young people thought that they could change the world.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
Sometimes I think that I understand my movies after I make them. Really. I go very often off of instinct.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
I like being able to see an innocence in people. I see a lot of beauty in youth. Young people are in progress. Their faces and bodies and minds are constantly changing. It's exciting to capture that on film.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
I lived in a kind of dream of communism.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
I am still against any kind of censorship. It's a subject in my life that has been very important.

I am in love with the idea of doing a movie in 3D. I think 3D would be great in a kind of realistic normal story without throwing objects to the camera, but using the 3D on the emotions in an intimate story.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
Although some people call me anti-feminist, I know I wasn't because Germaine Greer supported me.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
What happened in the late Fifties, early Sixties in French cinema was a fantastic revolution. I was in Italy, but completely in love with the nouvelle vague movement, and directors like Godard, Truffaut, Demy. 'The Dreamers' was a total homage to cinema and that love for it.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
A monoculture is not only Hollywood, but Americans trying to export democracy.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
If I don't fall in love with my characters, I cannot shoot.

Sometimes you are in sync with the times, sometimes you are in advance, sometimes you are late.

I think that I used to love Hollywood movies. I remember great phases and moments. But, unfortunately, now is not the moment.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
There's no more film; now everything's digital. I welcome this. It's fantastic for me to have a new chance.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
To explore technology for me is something that I have to do. Otherwise, I feel completely left in the back... abandoned.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
If you mention any ideological thing about shooting 'Last Tango in Paris,' I was thinking I was doing a political film.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
New York has always embraced me.
Bernardo Bertolucci -
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.
