Bernardo Bertolucci says TV shows better than Hollywood now

ROME, May 29: When he was 12, Bernardo Bertolucci looked in a mirror and imagined himself as John Wayne. Now, at 73, he is confined to a wheelchair but is still a towering figure of Italian cinema. Today, the Oscar-winning director is disappointed with the Hollywood that once inspired him and prefers television series such as “Mad Men”, saying they are better casted and better directed than big screen productions.
