Summary:
A New Guide to Italian Cinema, with co-author Carlo Celli, is a
complete reworking and update of Marga Cottino-Jones’ popular A
Student’s Guide to Italian Film (1983, 1993). This guide retains
earlier editions’ interest in renowned films and directors but is
also attentive to popular cinema, the films which actually achieved
box office success among the Italian public. The Guide introduces the
Italian cinema not just as a 20th century phenomenon but as an
expression of the deeper roots of Italy's historic, cultural and
literary past. Chapters offer historical timelines and commentary on
political and cultural events and trends, followed by discussion of
the Italian cinema industry and key films. Appendices offer guides to
writing about film, statistical data of Italian box office history
and short biographies and filmographies of important directors. The
aim of the book is to provide the cinephile, student, teacher, or fan
with a guide where points of interest may be identified and studied
with clarity.
