Bernardo Bertolucci Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Bernardo Bertolucci:

I accept all interpretations of my films. The only reality is before the camera. Each film I make is kind of a return to poetry for me, or at least an attempt to create a poem.

My father basically had two ways of judging anything. Either something was poetic or it wasn't.

Bernardo Bertolucci

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 haven't made a movie for a while, but I've watched a lot. It's my major waste of time. I like to work, but also to be waiting for work.

Bernardo Bertolucci

I make movies in order to make things understood, not to be shocking.

Bernardo Bertolucci

I left the ending ambiguous, because that is the way life is.

Bernardo Bertolucci

A monoculture is not only Hollywood, but Americans trying to export democracy.

Bernardo Bertolucci

I think that I used to love Hollywood movies. I remember great phases and moments. But, unfortunately, now is not the moment.

Bernardo Bertolucci

English dialogue is the best in the world. So dry and direct. The Italian language is beautiful, but it is too literary.

Bernardo Bertolucci

I remember being young in the 1960s... we had a great sense of the future, a great big hope. This is what is missing in the youth today. This being able to dream and to change the world.

Bernardo Bertolucci

Commuting in a wheelchair is not easy. I live in a very old part of Rome. These cobbles everywhere... terrible! In London, it is the same. Every pavement is uneven.

Bernardo Bertolucci

I don't film messages. I let the post office take care of those.

Bernardo Bertolucci

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.

Bernardo Bertolucci

I wanted already to be a filmmaker after I saw 'La Dolce Vita.'

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 am still against any kind of censorship. It's a subject in my life that has been very important.

Bernardo Bertolucci

I started in '69 to have psychoanalysis, and I realised very soon that I was changing, and that's I think why my movies were changing. They became much more open to dialogue.

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.

Bernardo Bertolucci

I wanted to have a reaction from the audience. I wanted to be able to talk to somebody, and not be talking just to myself. That's when I did 'The Conformist,' 'Last Tango in Paris,' etc. And I found it was incredibly rewarding, something new.

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 I don't fall in love with my characters, I cannot shoot.

Bernardo Bertolucci

I accept all interpretations of my films. The only reality is before the camera. Each film I make is kind of a return to poetry for me, or at least an attempt to create a poem.

Bernardo Bertolucci

New York has always embraced me.

Bernardo Bertolucci

English dialogues are always just what you need and nothing more - like something out of Hemingway. In Italian and in French, dialogues are always theatrical, literary. You can do more with it.

Bernardo Bertolucci

Although some people call me anti-feminist, I know I wasn't because Germaine Greer supported me.

Bernardo Bertolucci

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.
