Bernardo Bertolucci, the Italian director famous for movies such as, Last Tango in Paris, and, The Last Emperor, has died at 77, Italian media reported on Monday.
Bertolucci had been ill and died at his home in Rome, media reports said.
Considered as one of the giants of Italian and world cinema, he made his directorial debut at age 21 and eventually won an honorary Palme d’Or for his life’s work at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.
Bertolucci was the only Italian ever to win the Oscar for best film, snapping up the award in 1988 for “The Last Emperor”.
