A History of Italian Cinema, 2nd Edition by Peter Bondanella, Federico Pacchioni
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 9 MB
Overview: An unprecedented survey of Italian film from the leading expert in the field
A History of Italian Cinema is a major new study from the author of the bestselling Italian Cinema which has been published in three landmark editions and celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary in 2008. Building upon his decades of research, Peter Bondanella has now written the definitive history of the subject, from the birth of cinema to the present day. He has rethought, reorganized, and completely rewritten his previous work, which focused on postwar cinema, and has broadened his coverage of the spaghetti western and comedy genres. Bondanella also now covers a huge range of work that was not previously considered, particularly both popular and ‘B’ genres, including: the sword and sandal epic or “peplum” film of the 1950s; the Italian horror film, the so-called spaghetti nightmare films (including the subcategories of horror, the Italian zombie and cannibal films), that began in the 1950s and continue through the present; the giallo or Italian mystery thriller; and the poliziesco or Italian crime film from the 1970s to the present.
