Before the Revolution, which he shot in his hometown of Berma, was Bertolucci's first work that incorporated political consciousness beyond the exploration of human nature. The film depicts the hesitation of a middle-class intellectual youth who is torn between ideals and reality. He wanted to talk about revolution and love with others, but when he fell in love with his aunt, he felt guilty and distressed for this kind of love. Finally, he couldn't overcome reality and married a girl he didn't like very much. Although the film is not Bertolucci's personal autobiography, he vividly portrays the atmosphere of the 1960s in the movie. The young and impetuous him is definitely full of rage in the film.[Collapse]
