Bertolucci is coming to Manila.
Acclaimed Italian filmmakers Bernardo Bertolucci, Dario Argento and Marco Bellocchio, along with actress Asia Argento, will be visiting Manila for the Italian Film Festival set at Greenbelt Makati from November 9 to 13. The Italian artists will be conducting workshops and interacting with Filipino artists during their visit, according to Emanuela Adesini, cultural attaché of the Italian Embassy in Manila.—Bayani San Diego Jr, PDI
We love The Conformist. And we can hum the entire score of The Last Emperor. And we can’t look at butter without thinking of Last Tango in Paris. Where do we line up for an interview?

Molto bravo! I wanna watch :) The only time I get to watch good films are during film festivals such as this, although I missed the Japanese film festival :( I wanted to watch The Departed eh.

I would love to go if only for Asia Argento. I don’t really like Bernardo Bertolucci. I feel sorry for Maria Schneider (RIP) for that butter scene.
His other crimes: Making Ryuichi Sakamoto act in The Last Emperor and choosing Keannu Reeves to play the role of Siddharta. But I do like The Dreamers.
