Marco Bellocchio

Marco Bellocchio was born on 9 November 1939 in the province of Piacenza, into a Catholic middle-class family. He attended a school run by the Brothers of the Christian Schools, studied philosophy in Milan and took drama courses in that city, then, from 1959, those of the Experimental Centre of Cinematography in Rome. His first feature film, in 1965, made him known at once. He has not stopped making films since.
