电影以贝托鲁奇第一人称的视角来叙述。通过剪辑,影片阐述了他的思想以及强烈的情感,包括心理反思、轶事和愿景,他把这些渗透到真实而非凡的艺术从业中,作者花了两年的时间,300个小时极富耐心和充满热情的钻研完成了这部电影纪录片。The art of cinema recounted in first person by Bernardo Bertolucci. Through a editing that articulates his declarations and thoughts in a flow of intense feelings, psychological introspection, anecdotes and visions, we are offered an insight into the identity of an authentic and extraordinary practitioner of the art of mise-en-scène. It took the authors two years of work, delving with patience and enthusiasm into over three hundred hours of library footage from archives all over the world, to complete their film essay Bertolucci on Bertolucci.
