01:30:18 In our movies, quotations were there
just to prove our love for cinema,
01:30:25 and also what kind of love
we had for cinema.

much more complicated.
01:30:12 ..French nouvelle vague
kind of ideology.
01:30:18 In our movies, quotations were there
just to prove our love for cinema,
01:30:25 and also what kind of love

01:30:31 Now things were becoming
much more complicated.
01:30:36 Now, here we are, you have a great
director of commercial cinema...
01:30:45 ..who does a beautiful film.
01:30:49 And he's filming quotations,
02:16:25 The death of the movies,

02:16:54 The Last Sunset,
a favourite film with Bertolucci.
