TOPICS IN ITALIAN CINEMA

Examining Italian cinema from neorealism to today, this course will investigate how major directors have responded to the changing cultural, political and economic context in Italy over the last fifty years. In particular, we will focus on the determining role that five different vantage points (realism, the journey, the unconscious, the other, metacinema) have played in constructing Italian screen images, noting how characters, stories, and viewers are framed from these locations.
