"Both a history of 20th century Italy and a portrait of two families; also the story of the conflicts between two boys, one a peasant and the other a landowner, as they pass through the upheavals of the modern world."

"Two boys are born in Parma, Italy on the day of composer Giuseppe Verdi's death in 1901. Alfredo Berlinghieri is the son of a wealthy landowner and Olmo Dalco is the son of a poverty-stricken peasant who becomes a communist and labor organizer. Though the boys are childhood friends, they increasingly come into conflict as adults as Alfredo panders to the increasingly powerful fascists while Olmo fights relentlessly against Mussolini's followers."
"1900 is an epic film of massive scope, power, and controversy. It is both a vast history of the 20th Century Italy and an intimate portrait of two friends, both born on January 1, 1900...the son of the socialist peasant farmer and the son of the fascist landowner. The two young men pass through the upheavals of the modern world, as their personal conflicts become an allegory of the political turmoil of 20th Century Italy."
"Au tournant du siècle, deux garçons naissent le même jour sur le domaine des Berlinghieri en Emilie. Alfredo est l'enfant du fils cadet du maître des lieux; Olmo est le petit-fils d'un ouvrier agricole. Malgré leurs différences de classe, les deux garçonnets se lient d'amitié. Lorsqu'ils ont dix ans, le vieux Berlinghieri se suicide et le père d'Alfredo falsifie un testament pour évincer son aîné Ottavio. Séparés à la suite d'une grève des paysans, Olmo et Alfredo se retrouvent après la guerre ..."
"This is a lyrical-melodramatic celebration of the rise of socialism, the fight against fascism and the struggle of classes and generations in a northern Italian peasant community in the province of Emilia from the turn of the century to 1945. In contrast to the modernism of his earlier works, Bertolucci, in 1900, sought to construct a popular-national epic by adopting the form of the classical realist novel, using basically linear construction and character approached through readily recognisable psychological mechanisms. Bertolucci also incorporated elements of other genres such as the supernatural, the folktale, farce and forms of the grotesque. Further, he unsuccessfully challenged the commercial norms of the industry - 1900 was originally in two 3 hour parts. The sheer scope of the work per se is a reflection by Bertolucci upon the means of formally creating such a narrative."@en
"De levensloop van een boerenzoon en een grootgrondbezitter, die beiden in het jaar 1901 geboren werden, wordt sterk beïnvloed door de dramatische politieke en sociale ontwikkelingen in de Italiaanse samenleving."
"Au tournant du siècle, deux garçons naissent le même jour sur le domaine des Berlinghieri en Emilie.

""Dans l'Italie du vingtième siècle naissant, deux enfants voient le jour dans la région d'Emilie, sur les terres du maître Berlinghieri. Le premier, Alfredo Berlinghieri, est le petit-fils du riche propriétaire. Le second, Omo Dalco, est celui du contremaître. Ces deux enfants, unis par leur amitié mais séparés par leurs origines, vont être les témoins et les acteurs de 45 années d'histoire de l'Italie, des luttes sociales à l'inexorable montée du fascisme."
"A drama about an Italian family affected by the major historical events of the twentieth century, particularly the rise of fascism and socialism."
"It is turn of the century Italy, and in the summer of 1900 two children are born in the rich agricultural countryside of Emilia. Olmo Dalco is the bastard son of a family of farmworkers and Alfredo Berlinghieri is heir to a wealthy family of landowners. Although they come from two different worlds, a friendship develops that will endure the sweeping changes of the 20th century. The lives of the two men are shown from childhood to old age - their families, their loves, their personal beliefs - against the backdrop of political upheaval and world war."@en
"En una finca en el norte de italia nacen el mismo día, en el año 1900, el hijo de un terrateniente y el hijo de un bracero. La película les sigue a ellos y a sus familias durante ochenta años en la amistad y la alienación, sobre todo en lo relacionado con su actitud frente al fascismo, con el que burgués colabora pasivamente mientras el trabajador se convierte en partisano."
"Epic story of two families in Italy traces both the rise of fascism and the conflict between the sons of the families, both born on January 1, 1900."
"The film, with a decidedly socialist agenda, examines two lives that begin the same year in rural Italy: the weak-willed son of the aristocracy (Robert De Niro) and the hardy, courageous son of peasants (Gerard Depardieu). They grow up as best friends on the same estate, until class differences pull them apart and then the era's fascist politics divide them for good."
