Most of Bertolucci's films reflects his political views..like his early works 'The Confirmist' (1970) criticised Fascist ideology!

Some of his films created controversy because of his treatment in handling the relationships & art like..
'Last Tango in Paris' (1972).

He was known for his unique themes like 'Little Buddha' (1993) and style of film making like in 'The Sheltering Sky' (1990). 

His romantic films 'Stealing Beauty' (1996) and 'The Dreamers' (2003) also famous for different approach!
