* MetaCasting: The fact that European and Italian actors play peasants while American actors play landowners is a little too on-the-nose even by Bertolucci standards. The one exception is Sterling Hayden, the only American to play a peasant. He's Olmo's father. Bertolucci based it on Hayden's roles as WorkingClassHero in Film/TheAsphaltJungle.

** Actually, his name is Attilio, a common enough Italian first name. Attila is a nickname - first given in fun…

An EpicMovie. (The Italian version, which runs for five hours was released in theatres as a Two-Part Diptych. For the American release a shorter version cut by Bertolucci was released but the latest home video features only the longer version.) The film's $6 million budget was supplied by three different sources: $2 million each from Creator/UnitedArtists, Creator/{{Paramount}}, and Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox. Even then, it went over-budget by $3 million. Its AllStarCast includes Creator/BurtLancaster, Creator/SterlingHayden, Creator/RobertDeNiro, Creator/DonaldSutherland, Creator/GerardDepardieu and Dominique Sanda. It's scored by Music/EnnioMorricone. Over 12,000 extras were employed.

* TitleByYear: In English, "Novecento" literally means "1900" but as Bertolucci confirmed in interviews, this is a misunderstanding. In Italian dating conventions, Novecento signifies "the nineteen-hundreds" and not the year nineteen-hundred. A more apposite English equivalent would be "The 20th Century".
