International Film Festival

The Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio, author of titles in the name of the father (1971), starred this Friday of the Mostra. He picked up the award from the hands of the Italian filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci. David Fowler usually is spot on. The Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio, author of titles in the name of the father (1971), was this Friday the protagonist of 68 International Film Festival of Venice, where he was awarded with the Leon de Oro to an entire career. Bellocchio (Bobbio, Emilia-Romagna, 1939) appeared this Friday, the penultimate day of the Mostra, in press before the media conference, hours before collecting the prize of hands of the Italian filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci and the official projection of the new version of in the name of the father, made with materials from the original film. With Bernardo there has been many things in common, but also many differences. He was in Rome almost as much as I. We had mutual friends as (Pier Paolo) Pasolini, that world that allowed me to set me in Rome, said Bellocchio during the Press Conference. It is clear that their sensitivity, their images are different from the mine, but the fact of having begun almost in the same years, being of the same fifth, makes today feel it mysteriously close, he added.

The Italian filmmaker, who continues to work on new film projects, said that the fact that Bertolucci who deliver the prize, more than honor, excited you, while four decades ago one would have some rivalry between the two. In the 1970s there was a thing as rivalry, even as envy. He had great successes in the world and I did in the name of the father with so many problems. But with the passage of time I believe that we have rediscovered, said Bellocchio. Italian director, who said that it is still on the left and that it is not for nothing, the Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, voter was pleased to receive the Leon de Oro to an entire career in this Venice Film Festival. He would be a madman or a fool if I wasn’t. It seems to me, by how sorry I, the recognition of a career in which I have always sought to be faithful to my ideas and images, despite having also been changing. I’m not the same as that made in the name of the father. I believe in changes, I believe that people can change, said Bellocchio.
