If you loved El último emperador, try Novecento
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Bernardo Bertolucci, and they both carry the bittersweet, epic mood tags, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to El último emperador, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Novecento is
Barry Lyndon meets Reds. Two boys born on the same day in 1900 grow up on opposite sides of Italy's class divide. Bertolucci's operatic vision is long, lush, and committed to its own scale.
