Product Description
Product Description
This new addition to the "Directory of World Cinema" series focuses on Italy and Italian cinema. While attractive to English speaking audiences, Italian cinema is not as culturally familiar as French or German cinema so this volume aims to provide an understanding of some of its better-known aspects as part of a wider filmic and cultural study. Covering a range of genres including silent spectacle, neo-realism, the spaghetti western and the giallo, this volume provides a comprehensive historical sweep of Italian cinema that encompasses prestige and popular cinema and provides different standpoints from which to consider the recurrent themes of realism, politics, spectacle, and the operatic that are found across Italian film culture.
About the Author
Louis Bayman is in his final year of his AHRC-funded PhD research at King's College, London focusing on post-war Italian melodrama.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent, scholarly and readable addition to the World Cinema series by Intellect Press. It has stills from films, reviews, analyses of major directors, and discussions of popular Italian cinema as well as the melodramas and classics of the neorealist period. The top names in Italian film sholarship have contributed, and Louis Bayman has introduced the book and tied it together elegantly.
You'll want to dip into this before ordering your next DVD, use it for reference when discussions arise, and keep it on your coffee table to impress everyone. It would be a great present for your favourite film buff for Christmas.
