- Before the Revolution – review
The 22-year-old Bertolucci made an impressive debut in 1962 with The Grim Reaper, a Rashomon-style thriller about the murder of a prostitute scripted by his mentor, Pier Paolo Pasolini. But it was his second film, Before the Revolution (1964), now rereleased to accompany a well-deserved retrospective at London's BFI Southbank, that made his name. Semi-autobiographical, partly inspired by Stendhal's The Charterhouse of Parma, and set in 1962 in his native Parma, the film is deeply indebted to the French new wave and centres on Fabrizio, a 20-year-old introspective haut bourgeois student both attracted to and repelled by middle-class conformity and revolutionary Marxism. He has an incestuous affair with his attractive young aunt (a recurrent theme in Bertolucci's work), and it is altogether a dazzling film, both continually vital and something of a time capsule. I think, however, that his best movies are The Conformist, The Spider's Stratagem, the first part of 1900, and, with reservations, his version of one of my favourite novels, Paul Bowles's The Sheltering Sky.Bernardo BertolucciDramaRomanceWorld cinemaItalyPhilip Frenchguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Kitty Empire's best pop of 2010
The Observer's pop critic reviews a year in which teen pop triumphed over rockFor those listening out for high notes in a withering music industry, the arrival of Take That's Progress album provided some succour. The reunion between Robbie Williams and his erstwhile bandmates sold a much-trumpeted 235,000 on its first day, making it the fastest-selling album so far this century in the UK.But before we raise a toast, it's worth contrasting these with the first day sales of Call of Duty: Black Ops. This shoot-em-up video game had sold 1.4m copies on its first day one week earlier, wiping the floor not only with all music, but with many blockbuster movies as well.Hand-wringers might have had cause to despair of end times thanks also to the rise and rise of Justin Bieber, a US teen-pop moppet seemingly constructed entirely from tweets. Pop ruled; rock sold poorly – unless you're counting all those Kings of Leon mega-gigs, and the stubborn cultural presence of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. The Stones had their first No 1 album in 16 years with the re-release of Exile on Main Street, and Keef's autobiography garnered much traction by pointing out some uncharitable things about Mick. The two Apples – Corps and Inc – finally worked out how to digitally juice the Beatles' back catalogue.But surely we have evolved beyond a mindset in which the rude health of music is equated with a preponderance of guitar bands. In many ways, 2010 felt like a groundhog year – 2009, slight return. Homegrown urban music flourished in 2009; 2010 produced a new star in Tinie Tempah. Lady Gaga was omnipresent again, pimping steak tartare couture and touring here twice, even though she released no new music in 2010.Giving music away for free had its cultural moment with Radiohead's In Rainbows in オブザーバーのポップ批評家は、今年は、ティーンポップは、それらが枯れて、音楽業界で高いノートから聞いての到着はそれが進歩のアルバムはいくつかの救助を提供してくださいrockFor triumphed以上レビュー
