Before the revolution

Young, middle-class and idealistic, Fabrizio struggles to reconcile a commitment to revolutionary ideals with his bourgeois background.

And an impulsive affair with his free-spirited aunt only adds to his uncertainties. A fascinating record of the flowering of 1960s radicalism, Bertolucci captures the passion and ideology, and also the compromises of this fervent period.

Score by Ennio Morricone.
