![]() Avg.User Rating: Rate this person: Director, Producer, Screenwriter Born: November 9, 1939 in Piacenza, Italy Biography:After making short films and documentaries in the early 1960s, Bellocchio won international fame with his first feature, the powerful incest drama "I Pugni In Tasca" (aka "Fist in His Pocket"). Other stylish and provocative political dramas followed, most notably "La Cina E Vicina" ("China is Near") and "Nel Nome Del Padre" ("In the Name of the Father"). Bellocchio lost none of his rebel status in the ensuing years, and most recently has assaulted bourgeois sensibilites with "Salto Nel Vuoto" ("Leap Into The Void"); "Gli Occhi, La Bocca" ("The Eyes, The Mouth"), his follow-up to "I Pugni In Tasca;" and the controversial "Diavolo In Corpo" ("Devil In The Flesh"), his X-rated updating of Raymond Radiguet's novel. ~ All Movie Guide
