The
Conformist (Il conformista)
Bertolucci
was nominated for an Academy Award for the screenplay he wrote for The
Conformist, which was based on the novel by Alberto Moravia. The political
drama was a commentary on fascism and starred Jean-Louis Trintignant as
Marcello Clerici, a man who has become a prime example of an intellectual
fascist. When he is sent to Paris to assassinate his former anti-fascist
mentor, Clerici must come face to face with his tortured past. (1970) 111
minutes. Presented in 35 mm projection.

The
Sheltering Sky (Il té nel deserto)
Bertolucci
received many accolades for his work with adaptation of Paul Bowles’s novel
including a Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture and a win for Best
Original Score. THE SHELTERING SKY stars John Malkovich and Debra Winger as a
sophisticated couple, married for ten years, who have come to the African
desert in search of renewal and personal inspiration. (1990) 137 minutes.
Presented in 35 mm projection.

The
Last Emperor 3D (L’ultimo imperatore)
Bertolucci
celebrated the 25th anniversary of the first international release of The Last
Emperor. The celebration continues with an exclusive 3D screening during this
film series. The film follows the life of Emperor Pu Yi, who took the throne at
age three in 1908 before witnessing decades of cultural and political upheaval,
within and without the walls of the Forbidden City. The Last Emperor is an
intimate character study of one man reconciling personal responsibility and
political legacy. The film won nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and
Best Director, three BAFTAs including Best Picture and four Golden Globes
including Best Director, making it one of Bertolucci’s most critically praised
and lauded works. (1987) 163 minutes. Presented in 3D digital cinema.

Party – Inside the Forbidden City
A special party will take place in the Castro Theatre’s mezzanine will take
place following the screening of THE LAST EMPEROR featuring Italian and Chinese
cuisines and drinks.

Last
Tango in Paris (Ultimo tango a Parigi)
Marlon
Brando received an Academy Award nomination as Paul, a middle-aged American who
comes to Paris when his estranged wife commits suicide. After meeting a young
Frenchwoman by the name of Jeanne (Maria Schneider), Paul enters into a
sadomasochistic, carnal relationship of outrageous sexual behavior with her.
The combination of the explicit sexual content, Brando’s performance, and
Bertolucci’s direction (for which he also received another Academy Award
nomination), makes this an art house classic. (1972) 128 minutes. Presented in
35 mm projection.
