Bernardo Bertolucci:

" . . . it gave me the chance of visiting a moment that I really loved a lot, the late 1960s. It was a kind of magic moment in many senses. There was a fantastic projection of the future, of utopias, which were very noble in some ways. I remember being young in the 1960s . . . we had a great sense of the future, a great big hope. This is what is missing in the youth today. This being able to dream and to change the world."
