Gangster Priest: The Italian American Cinema of Martin Scorsese: Toronto Italian Studies
Autor Robert Casilloen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 feb 2007
Casillo argues that these films cannot be fully appreciated either thematically or formally without understanding the various facets of Italian American ethnicity, as well as the nature of Italian American cinema and the difficulties facing assimilating third-generation artists. Forming a unified whole, Scorsese's Italian American films offer what Casillo views as a prolonged meditation on the immigrant experience, the relationship between Italian America and Southern Italy, the conflicts between the ethnic generations, and the formation and development of Italian American ethnicity (and thus identity) on American soil through the generations. Raised as a Catholic and deeply imbued with Catholic values, Scorsese also deals with certain forms of Southern Italian vernacular religion, which have left their imprint not only on Scorsese himself but also on the spiritually tormented characters of his Italian American films. Casillo also shows how Scorsese interrogates the Southern Italian code of masculine honour in his exploration of the Italian American underworld or Mafia, and through his implicitly Catholic optic, discloses its thoroughgoing and longstanding opposition to Christianity.
Bringing a wealth of scholarship and insight into Scorsese's work, Casillo's study will captivate readers interested in the director's magisterial artistry, the rich social history of Southern Italy, Italian American ethnicity, and the sociology and history of the Mafia in both Sicily and the United States.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
'With Gangster Priest, Robert Casillo gives arguably the best reading of Martin Scorsese's -Italian American- films I have come across to date. Casillo's incredibly thorough presentation of the historical and social contexts surrounding the films and the filmmaker himself helps us to see the Italian American films of Martin Scorsese in new and exciting ways. No other scholar has even attempted such a work.'
