A work of massive scope, brilliance, and power, Bernardo Bertolucci's opus chronicles the rise of Fascism and Communism in Italy. This is seen through the interlocking stories of Robert De Niro and Gerard Depardieu, two friends torn apart by the political upheavals in their country. The stellar cast also includes Dominique Sanda, Stefania Sandrelli, Donald Sutherland, and Alberto Grimaldi. Pauline Kael said Bertolucci "is trying to make a people's film by drawing on the mythology of the movies, as if it were a collective memory. 1900 is a romantic moviegoer's version of the class struggle--a love poem for the movies as well as for the life of those who live communally on the land." This is the full uncut version. In Italian with English subtitles.
