With the exception of die-hard aficionados of European or Italian horror cinema, most people may not have heard of giallo cinema or have seen many films in this subgenre of horror. Most academic film studies tend to ignore horror cinema in general and the giallo specifically. Critics often deride these films, which reveal more about the reviewers' own prejudices than any problem with the works themselves. As a counter to such biases, Mikel J. Koven argues for an alternative approach to studying these films, by approaching them as vernacular cinema—distinct from "popular cinema." According to Koven, to look at a film from a vernacular perspective removes the assumptions about what constitutes a "good" film and how a particular film is in some way "artistic." In La Dolce Morte: Vernacular Cinema and the Italian Giallo Film, Koven explores the history and evolution of this aspect of cinema, and places these films within the context of Italian popular filmmaking. He addresses various themes, motifs, and tropes in these films: their use of space, the murders, the role of the detective, the identity of the killer, issues of belief, excess, and the set-piece. In addition to being the first academic study of the giallo film in English, this book surveys more than fifty films of this subgenre. In addition to filmmakers like Mario Bava and Dario Argento, Koven also looks at the films of Lucio Fulci, Sergio Martino, Pupi Avati, Umberto Lenzi, and others. In all, the works of twenty-five different filmmakers are considered in this book. Also explored are the inter-relationships between these films: how one influences others, how certain filmmakers take ideas and build off of them, and how those ideas are further transformed by other filmmakers. Koven also explores the impact of the giallo on the later North American slasher genre.

Dark humor, a scandalous crew, love, sex and death mix on a euthanasia cruise.In the twilight of their lives, Maureen and George meet and fall in love on the 63rd sailing of a “La Dolce Morte” cruise. They share a love they never imagined at this time in their lives.The wild crew and brave passengers are a slice of life; the profound and the profane meet on the high seas for a cruise like no other. For the “Blue Card” passengers, this is a one way trip. For the crew, it's another tough journey. For the ship, it may be the end of its days.The Sweet Death: La Dolce Morte is the story of a love with limits, but not in ways that matter. This is a simple love story: two single passengers meet on a cruise and fall in love.But simple does not mean usual, because this is not a usual cruise by any stretch of the imagination. This is a euthanasia cruise -- one way for most passengers.The ms Acheron, sailing monthly from San Francisco, is specially equipped and staffed. It is a masterpiece of design with luxurious service and sumptuous food. Designed from the keel up to accommodate funeral services and storage of the remains, it meets the special needs of “transitional passengers.” This super-deluxe cruise is called "La Dolce Morte," the sweet death.Those who have chosen to have their "transition" during the cruise, known as Blue Card passengers, are cared for by a professional staff trained to administer the sweet death.Maureen and George, both single and in their eighties, have embarked on the cruise beyond hope of recovering from their illnesses. Their chance encounter grows into a powerful relationship, at a critical time, the end of their individual struggle to deal with their suffering.The crew's promiscuous and scandalous habits counterpoint the passengers' suffering and fear. And the crew learns important lessons during their volleyball tournament, proving themselves by standing up to challenges. The ms Acheron is mired in legal battles regarding the legality of its operations, and its captain and crew are challenged to keep things on an even keel in these rough waters. The captain has been instructed to be extremely vigilant for any problems that may arise onboard.As we watch the love story unfold, against the backdrop of the ship, the crew and its brave passengers, we understand the power of love over the human spirit. But complications develop, and the story takes some unexpected turns.This is a story of endings and beginnings, and how the lines between them are unclear. It is a story of aging and death with the promise of hope.

Est Antigoriu è un viaggio in terra sarda, un mosaico di profumi, usi, tradizioni, folklore e sentimento isolano che dà forma all'isola esattamente come l'autrice la percepisce. E' lo stesso titolo a definire la terra sarda antica, nel fascino, nella cultura, nella gastronomia, nell'arte e nell'architettura, nei suoni e in quei sentimenti che sparpaglia come grano al vento, capace come s'è dimostrata di trattenere dell'antico solo il meglio. L'isola viene letta e riletta sotto diversi aspetti: con gli occhi di donna tradita, amata, protetta o esposta, con lo sguardo delle Dee che l'hanno abitata, rivivendo feste, attraversando malattie e cure, sognando della Sardegna di ieri e ripercorrendone la storia attraverso l'arte che al suo interno vide nascere, d'intreccio, di pittura, di foto.

""This is not a book about Hitchcock. There are many of those in critical circles, and I wouldn't presume to add a great deal more to the landmark studies of scholars such as Raymond Bellour, Robin Wood, and William Rothman, among many others. But it is a book that attempts to situate Hitchcockian cinema, and more specifically, an aspect of the Hitchcockian style in the aftermath of Hitchcock's rich, complex, and sometimes unwieldy filmmaking career. In a series of discussions with François Truffaut in 1962, Hitchcock, then at the height of his influence as a filmmaker and prior to the perceived decline of his cinema in the later 1960s, gestures toward an artistic disposition in the following exchange on Rear Window (1954): "Truffaut: I imagine that the story appealed to you primarily because it represented a technical challenge: a whole film from the viewpoint of one man, and embodied in a single, large set. Hitchcock: Absolutely. It was a possibility of doing a purely cinematic film. You have an immobilized man looking out. That's one part of the film. The second part shows what he sees and the third part shows how he reacts. This is actually the purest expression of a cinematic idea." ""--

For decades, the Western film has been considered a dying breed of cinema, yet filmmakers from Quentin Tarantino to Ethan and Joel Coen find new ways to reinvigorate the genre. As Westerns continue to be produced for contemporary audiences, scholars have taken a renewed interest in the relevance of this enduring genre. In Critical Perspectives on the Western: From A Fistful of Dollars to Django Unchained, Lee Broughton has compiled a wide-ranging collection of essays that look at various forms of the genre, on both the large and small screen. Contributors to this volume consider themes and subgenres, celebrities and authors, recent idiosyncratic engagements with the genre, and the international Western. These essays also explore issues of race and gender in the various films discussed as well as within the film genre as a whole. Among the films and television programs discussed in this volume are The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward, Robert Ford; Django Kill; Justified; Meek’s Cutoff; Tears of the Black Tiger; Appaloosa; The Frozen Limits; and Red Harvest.Featuring a diverse selection of chapters that represent current thinking on the Western. Critical Perspectives on the Western will appeal to fans of the genre, film students, and scholars alike.
