Prior
to
this
year-with
the
English
translation
of
Gian
Piero
Brunetta's
The
History
of
Italian
Cinema
and
this
definitive
rewrite
and
update
of
Bondanella's
best-selling
Italian
Cinema,
first
published
in
1983-there
have
been
few
encompassing
histories
of
Italian
cinema
for
the
English-speaking
world.
Bondanella
chronologically
examines
the
development
of
cinema,
and
his
uncommon
analysis
and
accreditation
of
B
movies
reveal
a
layer
of
national
identity
previously
marginalized
or
unconsidered.
Of
equal
rarity
are
the
detailed
attention
given
to
directors
and
the
balanced
critical
representation
of
most,
if
not
all,
of
their
work.
A
comprehensive
primer
conversationally
delivered
and
generously
seasoned
with
film
stills
and
photographs.Verdict:
This
magnum
opus
of
Italian
film
studies
also
contains
what
may
be
the
most
complete
bibliography
assembled
on
the
subject.
Important
for
students
and
cineastes,
casuals
and
newbies.
Likely to remain the standard work on the subject for years to come, Bondanella's book is a must-have for students and fans of Italian film.
Documents the history from very long experience and research...especially good at identifying and summarising trends.
Bondanelle has made significant contributions to the study of Italian literature and film, and this new history--though not billed as such--is in many respects an updated edition of his Italian Cinema: From Neorealism to the Present. But it is more than just that. here, the author pays closer attention to films of the silent era and adds or extends chapters devoted to popular genres--looking, for example, at the peplum (or so-called sword and sandal film), the 'spaghetti nightmares' (horror films), the giallo mysteries, police dramas, and 'the truly B-film comedies.' Bondanella retains the crucial examinations of neorealism, political films, social criticism in Italian comedies, and significant auteurs (Visconti, Antonioni, De Sica, Fellini, Pasolini, Bertolucci). He concludes by placing the recent work of such young directors as Pupi Avati, Ferzan Ozpetek, PAppi Corsicato, Antonio Luigi Grimaldi, Andrea Molaioli, and Francesca Archibugi among others in the context of earlier filmmakers and influences. A celebration of the author's long career as a scholar of Italian studies, this book is a sweeping course in Italian film from the silent era and Fascist period to the present. Includes photographs and extensive notes. Summing Up: Recommended.
