Martin Scorsese paid tribute to Bernardo Bertolucci, who died earlier on Monday (26) at the age of 77.
The Bertolucci journalist said Monday that the great film director as Last Tango In Paris and The Last Emperor died of cancer
"In 1964, I am went to Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, on the occasion of the 2nd New York Film Festival to see a new film from Italy. It was called Before the Revolution and it was a young director by the name of Bernardo Bertolucci, "said Scorsese. "I left the theater in a dizziness, without voice. I was really stunned and moved by the artistic talent and talent that reigns on the screen. The freedom of the image shocks me. I am a little mystified by so many cultural references and cross references.
" Before the Revolution I opened many doors, as well as many other young filmmakers. And Bertolucci continued to open doors – with The Conformist who had a profound influence on Hollywood cinema; with Last Tango In Paris explosive cultural event; with The Last Emperor and The Sheltering Sky who reinvented the historical epic.
"When I think of Bertolucci – the man, the artist – the word that comes to my mind is refinement. Yes, it was flamboyant and provocative, but it's sweetness and the grace with which he spoke, as well as his deep understanding of his own history and culture, which made his work as a filmmaker and his presence so magical.
"Bernardo was in a wheelchair during the last years of his life and it was extremely difficult for him to move, which saddened all who knew him, because he had so much more than he wanted to do, and probably even more films to do, when I think of him, I will always see a man eternally young. "
