Bernardo Bertolucci

After a long fight with cancer and years of generally poor health, Bernardo Bertolucci has died. Unlike typical auteurs, he occasionally directed films he did not write and wrote films he did not direct. He was opinionated, controversial, aggressive and easily my favorite Italian filmmaker.
