A defining voice of youth counterculture cinema, his works including 'Drugstore Cowboy' and 'My Own Private Idaho' authentically capture marginalized youth rejecting mainstream society.

 Bernardo Bertolucci Italy

His masterpiece 'The Conformist' and 'Last Tango in Paris' deconstruct youth rebellion, sexual liberation, and the clash between individual desire and social conformity.
