Ultimo Tango a Parigi - Last Tango in Paris (1972) dir. Bernardo Bertolucci

Il Conformista - The Conformist (1970) dir. Bernardo Bertolucci

"When I was 18 or 19, I was sent to Paris and I discovered the Cinematheque Francaise. It was the year A Bout de Souffle came out and I went to see it four or five times. I was crazy about films and very early on, I became absorbed by the close-ups, wide shots or camera movements in them. Somebody next to me might have been crying because a couple was separating in the film; I was crying because the camera movement was so sublime."
