[Marxism] Bernardo Bertolucci, Director of ‘Last Tango in Paris,’ Dies at 77
POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * NY Times, Nov. 27, 2018 Bernardo Bertolucci, Director of ‘Last Tango in Paris,’ Dies at 77 By Dennis Lim Bernardo Bertolucci, the Italian filmmaker whose sensual and visually stylistic movies ranged from intense chamber dramas to panoramic historical epics, died on Monday at his home in Rome. He was 77. His death was confirmed by his wife, Clare Peploe, in a statement that did not specify the cause. Mr. Bertolucci’s early work reflected the revolutionary spirit of the 1960s and ’70s, in particular the shifting social and sexual mores of the times. While several of his films delved into the traumas of his country’s recent past, he fashioned himself as a global auteur. Coming of age as the Italian neorealist movement was on the wane, he drew inspiration from the French New Wave and routinely worked across borders and with international casts. Many of Mr. Bertolucci’s films were warmly embraced by Hollywood. “The Last Emperor” (1987), a lavish biopic of Pu Yi, who became the emperor of China at the age of 3, won all nine Academy Awards for which it was nominated, including best picture and best director. But Mr. Bertolucci’s best-known — and most controversial — film came earlier in his career: “Last Tango in Paris” (1972), an explicit depiction of the intense sexual relationship between a middle-aged American widower and a young Frenchwoman (played by Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider). A worldwide sensation and instant lightning rod, the film was lauded by some for pushing the boundaries of sexual representation, and denounced by others as misogynistic or pornographic. “Last Tango” received an X rating, landed on the covers of Time and Newsweek, and earned $36 million at the United States box office alone. In Italy, the film was the subject of a protracted obscenity trial. In 1976, the Italian Supreme Court ordered all copies destroyed and handed Mr. Bertolucci a four-month suspended sentence. Son of a Literary Family Bernardo Bertolucci was born on March 16, 1941, in Parma, Italy, into an affluent, artistically inclined family. His father, Attilio, was a renowned poet and occasional film critic; his mother, Ninetta, taught literature. As a teenager, after the family had moved to Rome, he started making short films with a borrowed 16-millimeter camera. When he was 20, Mr. Bertolucci dropped out of the University of Rome when the opportunity arose to assist a neighbor and family friend, Pier Paolo Pasolini, on the set of Mr. Pasolini’s first feature, “Accattone” (1961). Despite early success as a poet — a collection of his poetry won the prestigious Viareggio Prize in 1962 — Mr. Bertolucci chose to devote himself to film. His directing debut, “The Grim Reaper,” about the murder of a prostitute in a Roman park, from a story treatment by Mr. Pasolini, had its premiere at the Venice Film Festival in 1962. If his first feature carried inevitable shades of Pasolini, Mr. Bertolucci came into his own with his second, “Before the Revolution” (1964). Loosely based on the Stendhal novel “The Charterhouse of Parma,” it describes the struggle of a young man torn between his bourgeois background and his radical aspirations. For Mr. Bertolucci, the character’s conflict mirrored his own. “I was a Marxist with all the love, all the passion and all the despair one can expect from a bourgeois who chooses Marxism,” he said in a 1965 interview with the magazine Cahiers du Cinéma. “Before the Revolution” anticipated his interest in exploring the intersections of the personal and the political, while establishing his knack for inscribing autobiographical references in films based on literary sources. While the Italian reviews were mostly negative, the film was championed by French critics, who identified Mr. Bertolucci as a fellow traveler of the French New Wave. The love was mutual. Mr. Bertolucci, who spent a month in Paris attending screenings at the Cinémathèque Française as a high school graduation gift, insisted on doing early interviews in French, which he called “the language of cinema.” Even more than Mr. Pasolini, Jean-Luc Godard was an important early influence. Mr. Godard looms large over Mr. Bertolucci’s third, and most experimental, feature, “Partner” (1968), a reworking of Dostoevsky’s “Double” in which a young man encounters his revolutionary doppelgänger. In what he described as a pivotal moment in his creative life, Mr. Bertolucci began Freudian analysis in 1969. He spoke often and openly about the process, describing himself in a 1977 interview with The Washington Post as “a repressed person” who “can express

Are they right? "The SF Bay Area sports world is in a tizzy about the owner of the SF (baseball) Giants having donated to the campaign of the racist Cindy Hyde Smith of Mississippi. They’re missing the point. The issue is not the owner of the SF Giants. Back around the time that Trump was elected, somebody I know had pointed out to me that he must have some support from some of the capitalists; he can’t be a total outsider. I’ve thought about that in relation to a related issue: There always has been a wing of the capitalist class that never has accepted any of the changes that have come about in the US. Workers winning some rights through the labor uprisings of the 1930s? No. Black people putting an end to the worst excesses of racism? Nope. Women being regarded as equal to men? Scratch that too. Even the few social benefits put into effect by the New Deal, done to prevent an even worse crisis. No need for that" As Trotsky put it: “History says to the working class ‘you must know that unless you cast down the bourgeoisie (the capitalist class), you will perish beneath the ruins of the capitalist civilization.

Measured in these ways, there can be no doubt that Puritan New England was a by-product of capitalism in its expansive, early modern phase. John Winthrop’s settlement arose within one of the great commercial empires of the early modern world. Unlike the Spanish conquest a century earlier, in which arms, expropriation of easily obtained wealth, and missionary zeal took the vanguard roles, the English colonization of the Americas was a merchants’ endeavor. Trading corporations — the Virginia Company, the Massachusetts Bay Company, the Providence Island Company, the Plymouth Company — undertook the work of settlement throughout British America, capitalized by investors’ purchase of their joint stock. full: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/was-america-born-capitalist-on-john-winthrops-a-model-of-christian-charity/ _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
