In this film-essay Bernardo Bertolucci gives a first-hand account of cinema. It is a journey told in three languages (Italian, English and German) across the identity of an authentic and extraordinary metteur en scène.
After a two-year long project, Luca Guadagnino and Walter Fasano have produced the film-documentary Bertolucci on Bertolucci, patiently and passionately looking into over three hundred hours of archival footage from around the world.
