Bernardo Bertolucci is one of the defining voices of modern cinema, who found widespread international acclaim for many of his movies. His trophy haul included an Academy Award for Best Director, becoming the first Italian to accomplish the feat, in addition to a pair of Golden Globes, a BAFTA and much more besides.
Towards the end of his career, Bertolucci was more likely to be found accepting Lifetime Achievement awards than stepping behind the camera, helming just three features between 1998 and his death 20 years. One of them, literary adaptation The Dreamers, has been enjoying a resurgence on Netflix.
