Bertolucci was born in the Italian city of Parma, in the region of Emilia-Romagna.
At first it seems that he folowed in the footsteps of his father, he had an interest in poetry, and he joined the faculty of modern literature at the University of Rome, but he soon dropped out of school and was an assistant to Pier Paolo Pazolinina. With one camera Bertolucci made two amateur short films in 1956-1957, "Cable-cars" and "The death of the pig".
His latest film is the adaptation of the novel "You and I" written by Niccolo Ammaniti. Bertolucci was originally going to shoot the film in 3D, but abandoned the idea after learning that such forecasts are considered to be the prerogative of commercial films and are reserved for the young.
Bertolucci's first wife, Adriana Asti, starred in his early film Prima della rivoluzione. In 1978, he married Clare Peploe, a British screenwriter who has since directed a few films as well.
