1900 (1976)
(Novecento)
Country: IT/FR/GER
Technical: col 317m
Director: Bernardo Bertolucci
Cast: Burt Lancaster, Robert de Niro, Gérard Depardieu, Dominique Sanda, Donald Sutherland, Sterling Hayden
Synopsis:
Early twentieth century Italian history, seen through the eyes of two childhood friends on either side of the class divide.
Review:
A truly monumental work, presumably financed on the strength of Last Tango in Paris, and with a number of American actors invited to take part. An exhibitor's gambit, it was released in two parts for commercial viability. As a viewer experience it is hard to digest without some knowledge of events, and even then the episodes do not always mesh well. However, as a collaborative enterprise it was one of the decade's most distinguished and culturally significant.
