He was captured by the Red Army for being a war criminal and as a young man is surrounded by a complicated and complex political situation. Despite a low box office turnover, the Bernardo Bertulocci film, earned an incredible nine Oscars, but never got a wider release than 877 theaters, making its per-screen average a rather impressive $50,153.
