document: This week 's new film events Bernardo Bertolucci , London In his early career , which forms the first half of this two-month retrospective , Bertolucci seems to have lived for danger . He was fascinated by eroticism and politics and the connections between them , which , combined with his fluid visual moves , made his films pulse with life . Even before the scandalous Last Tango In Paris , he 'd dealt with fascism , murder , terrorism , incest and other hot potatoes in films like The Conformist , La Luna , The Spider 's Stratagem and Before The Revolution . His career went widescreen and international , with the star-studded 1900 , Oscar triumph The Last Emperor and so on , but the visual mastery never deserted him . Bertolucci himself is in conversation next Saturday and curator David Thompson gives a talk on 14 Apr. . BFI Southbank , SE1 , Thu to 30 Apr Radiophonic Weekend , Bristol Dick Mills -LRB- left -RRB- , appearing as part of Cube 's Radiophonic Weekend . The BBC 's unlikely incubator of British electronica gets an aptly boffinish-yet-uber-cool tribute , with films , music , talks and cosmic oscillations from the outer reaches of the analogue universe this weekend , and a Daphne Oram salon in London -LRB- see Events Preview -RRB- . The key screenings here are The Same Trade As Mozart , a 1969 documentary explaining this new-fangled electronic music to the concerned populace , and a new short doc on the workshop 's luminous heroine Delia Derbyshire -LRB- who created the Doctor Who theme tune -RRB- . Radiophonic veterans Dick Mills and David Cain will also be on hand with unheard clips and reminiscences on the workshop 's 1950s/60s golden age . Cube cinema , Sat & Sun , visit cubecinema.com British Silent Film Festival , London Helen Of Four Gates . If you 're looking for silence , do n't watch these silents . The images may be mute but the bill includes skiffle band The Dodge Brothers -LRB- featuring Mark Kermode on double bass -RRB- , a piano improv session -LRB- to old newsreels , like they used to -RRB- , the world premiere of a 1925 score -LRB- to Soviet fairytale Morozko -RRB- , plus archive recordings of early cinema audiences that promise to reveal the '' `` indecent behaviour '' '' of our forebears . For the eyes , highlights include Anna May Wong as an exotic Parisian dancer in Pavement Butterfly and the rediscovered Helen Of Four Gates , a 1920s working class tale set in Hebden Bridge . Barbican , EC2 , Thu to 10 Apr , britishsilents.co.uk Italian Film , London , Edinburgh , Glasgow , Dundee Toni Servillo in A Quiet Life . Two countries , two Italian film festivals , and it 's a tribute of sorts that there 's hardly any overlap . The only movie playing at both the Italian Film Festival In Scotland and Riverside Studio 's Italian Cinema London is the singular Le Quattro Volte , a captivating pastoral meditation on man and nature with more goat bleating than spoken dialogue . Both events have a pick of new offerings and both pay tribute to a great actor . In Scotland , it 's Toni Servillo , who made such a stunning Andreotti in last year 's Il Divo . See him here in several guises , including an exiled criminal in new thriller A Quiet Life . In London , it 's Massimo Troisi , best known here for his last film , Il Postino , but with a long back catalogue as both actor and director . Italian Film Festival In Scotland at various venues , Sat to 14 Apr , visit italianfilmfestival.org.uk ; Italian Cinema London at Riverside Studios , W6 , Sat to 10 Apr
