Movie Description
Atmospheric and intense, BEFORE THE REVOLUTION finds a young man named Fabrizio (Francesco Barilli) feeling trapped by his bourgeois birthright. A way out appears in the person of his mysterious aunt Gina (Adriana Asti), but their love affair frightens Fabrizio as much as the Marxist politics he dabbles in. Director/co-screenwriter Bernardo Bertolucci eschews plot; instead he uses avant-garde techniques to allow the story to progress in visual and emotional terms.

Credits
Cast:Adriana Asti

Notes
The film was shot on location in Parma.

The title comes from the Talleyrand quote used as the film's epigram, which translates as: "Those who haven't known life before the revolution cannot know how sweet it is."

The scene in which Allen Midgette falls off his bicycle was not planned; Midgette actually fell, but Bertolucci decided to use the footage.

Editorial Reviews
"[A]s bold and emphatic an announcement that a major director has arrived as has ever been made..."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (07/15/2004)
