Bertolucci told Daily Variety that what he loves about 3D is that "it's based on the fact that you look with two eyes; so two cameras imitate that. It's like having a way of seeing things along with the audience."
Not buyin it. With the exception of Cave of Forgotten Dreams I feel like arthouse filmmakers are only doing 3D because the money people have shown them, "Your audience will always be the same amount of people. Shoot it in 3D and we can increase revenues by a third." In the case of people like Soderbergh or Godard they also just like to play in the sandbox. I'm pretty much with Ebert on this. I don't like 3D and I don't want a murky picture when I'm going to the arthouse.

That said. Look forward to seeing this, I thought The Dreamers was one of his best.

well it seems he abandoned the 3D after the first week of 'tournage', don't know why but the film won't be in 3D,

this is the most recent news I had visiting the set in Rome last week...

B.B was interviewed by Ugo Tognazzi's daughter on her excellent documentary film about her father (Ritratto di mio padre), and I found Bertolucci very, very ill.

Two Movies by Bernardo Bertolucci are among the lineup of the Venice Classics section at the 76th Venice Film Festival.

“The Grim Reaper,” dir: Bernardo Bertolucci (Italy, 1962), restored by CSC-Cineteca Nazionale in collaboration with RTI-Mediaset.

“The Spider’s Stratagem,” dir: Bernardo Bertolucci (Italy, 1970), restored by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna and Massimo Sordella in collaboration with Compass Film.

Hopefully Criterion pick them and puts both out on Blu-ray next year!
