For those Bernardo Bertolucci lovers, there is current news: the Italian director is about to film his new film in four years, after the semi-crash "Soñadores" (2003). It is a film about the Renaissance composer Gesualdo da Venosa, who murdered his wife and lover. The script will be by Mark Peploe, the same as "The Last Emperor", and the film will be spoken in English.
There are many who least expect something new from Tano. And while his latest productions were by no means a box office success, there is always hope that he will break out with some masterpiece. Now we have to wait how this new adventure will be, which was defined as a story epic about a character «hidden by History». Bernardo will narrate the life of Gesualdo da Venosa, a XNUMXth century musician born as Carlo Gesualdo, prince of Venosa, who after murdering his and wife his lover dedicated himself to composing innovative musical pieces.
Before this project, he had in mind to adapt the novel "Bel Canto", which was to be set in an imaginary South American country; There, a group of guerrillas took hostage those attending a party given by a politician. But apparently this shoot has been postponed indefinitely.
