Portrait of Tonino De Bernardi

Season 1 - Episode 2 - 1h 45m

Air Date

January 08, 2004

Overview

During the underground season Tonino De Bernardi set out to tell “what he saw” and-if possible-save himself and his world by means of his own work. De Bernardi tells the poet Valentino Zeichen and a young cinephile friend - Fulvio Baglivi - that in those distant 1960s he wanted to make a cinema that would “accompany him in living.”... A simple and direct way to see the very special way of working of this unusual and brilliant director.
