Among cinema’s great historical epics, 1900 is Bernardo Bertolucci’s singularly ambitious, sprawling account of the contemporaneous development of fascism and communism in Italy as expressed through the shifting relationship of two childhood friends, indelibly portrayed by Robert De Niro and Gérard Depardieu, caught in the whirlwind of class tensions and emerging nationalism. Set in Bertolucci’s native Emilia-Romagna, 1900 was shot by Vittorio Storaro, scored by Ennio Morricone, and boasts a true all-star cast, including Dominique Sanda, Laura Betti, Donald Sutherland, Sterling Hayden, Burt Lancaster, and more, and has been recognized by the Italian Ministry of Culture for the film’s role in sculpting Italian collective memory about the first half of the 20th century. 1900 will be presented in its original director’s cut (with a 30-minute intermission), whose appropriately epic duration caused much rancor between Bertolucci and producer Alberto Grimaldi. 4K DCP digital restoration by Cinecittà, Cineteca di Bologna, Paramount, and 20th Century Fox.
