Episode synopsis
Bernardo Bertolucci's career reached a peak of notoriety with Last Tango in Paris (1972) in 1972, but atmospheric early work such as Spider's Strategy (1970) and The Conformist (1970) had already earmarked him as a major talent. Here, in the company of Mark Cousins, he discusses the frank sexuality in his work and influences informing it, and his hatred of his native Italy. The programme includes clips from Bertolucci's films and from those of his many admirers.
