Biography

After making short films and documentaries in the early 1960s, Bellocchio won international fame with his first feature, the powerful incest drama I Pugni In Tasca (aka Fist in His Pocket). Other stylish and provocative political dramas followed, most notably La Cina E Vicina (China is Near) and Nel Nome Del Padre (In the Name of the Father). Bellocchio lost none of his rebel status in the ensuing years, and most recently has assaulted bourgeois sensibilites with Salto Nel Vuoto (Leap Into The Void); Gli Occhi, La Bocca (The Eyes, The Mouth), his follow-up to I Pugni In Tasca; and the controversial Diavolo In Corpo (Devil In The Flesh), his X-rated updating of Raymond Radiguet's novel. ~ All Movie Guide

Marco Bellocchio (born 9 November 1939) is an Italian film director, screenwriter and actor.

Born in Bobbio, Bellocchio began studying philosophy in Milan but then decided to enter film school, making his first film, Fists in the Pocket (Pugni in tasca), in 1965.

His other films include China is Near (1967), Sbatti il mostro in prima pagina (1972), Salto nel Vuoto (1980), Henry IV (1984), Il diavolo in corpo (Devil in the Flesh 1986) and, more recently, L'ora di religione (My Mother's Smile, 2002). In 1995 he directed a documentary about the Red Brigades and the kidnapping of Aldo Moro, entitled Sogni infranti (Broken Dreams). In 2003, he directed a feature film on the same theme, Buongiorno, notte (Good Morning, Night). In 2006 his film The Wedding Director was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.[1] In 2009 he directed the Golden Palm nominated film Vincere.
