| Summary: | Includes essays from both established and more recent scholars, the Companion considers traditional areas of research such as neorealism, auteur cinema, commedia all'italiana, Italian silent cinema, politics, Catholicism, and terrorism. A significant section of the volume is also dedicated to more recent issues such as feminism, queer cinema, immigration, and digitalization. This volume addresses major films in the history of Italian cinema, from Cabiria (1914) to La grande bellezza (2013), and major directors such as Rossellini, Fellini, Antonioni, and Bertolucci. The role of music and issues of distribution and reception are also considered, and a comprehensive overview of the history of Italian cinema studies is provided. The result is a comprehensive, cutting-edge collection that will become a standard resource for academic and non-academic purposes alike. Frank Burke is Professor Emeritus of Film at Queen's University, Canada. He has produced over 100 publications, keynote addresses, invited lectures, and special sessions on Italian and North American cinema, and has edited for the Canadian Journal of Political and Social Theory and Literature/Film Quarterly. --Book Jacket. |
