About this book

This book is a complete reworking and update of Marga Cottino-Jones' popular A Student's Guide to Italian Film (1983, 1993) . This guide retains earlier editions' interest in renowned films and directors but is also attentive to the popular films which achieved box office success among the public.

Reviews

"This study is a rich synthesis of the history of Italian Cinema from its birth to the present, with a useful chronological historical table of main events which is enhanced by short cultural synopses. Celli and Cottino-Jones also add to the well known history of major Italian films with anecdotes and short but significant biographies and historical references, which connect the filmmakers' lives with concurrent events. This book will be adopted by many educators since it is a valuable tool for scholars, students, and researchers, offering a great deal of new information on many films and often original plot interpretations." - Antonio Vitti, Wake Forest University
