Chi nella propria vita abbia visto più di una decina di film sa che la storia del cinema non si può che declinare al plurale: quella che per comodità di targhette accademiche chiamiamo “Storia” è in realtà un tessuto composito di fili intrecciati, un canovaccio di storie che si incontrano, si scontrano, si intrecciano e si strecciano, si spezzano e si riannodano all’infinito. In questo intreccio si muove il libro di Pino Farinotti, che è una raccolta di articoli e interventi apparsi su web e carta stampata e che programmaticamente si intitola “storie” del cinema. Storie nei due sensi: talvolta vere e proprie piccole ricostruzioni storiche, talvolta affabulazioni e racconti, che entrano nel tessuto vivo della “storia”, seguono fili e intrecci e ci restiuiscono frammenti di una raffigurazione, idee per una ricostruzione, aree su cui tornare a porre l’attenzione. Se si può (o si deve) cercare un’unità tra questi apparenti disiecta membra, la si trova proprio nell’implacabile volontà di Farinotti di far luce, di delineare, di raccontare non solo per giustapposizione, ma individuando temi, interessi, aspirazioni. Ne esce un concentrato di farinotti-pensiero, che è cosa che si ama o si odia, ma di fronte alla quale è difficile rimanere indifferenti, perché Pino Farinotti non rifugge da prese di posizione nette e da parole pesanti: “morale” innazitutto, e poi bellezza, modelli (quelli estetici e morali, non quelli che sfilano in passerella), letteratura, eleganza, eroi. Sono parole di cui avvertiamo la disabitudine, la desuetudine e la scorrettezza rispetto ai modelli culturali che sono imposti e ci imponiamo, ma di cui non possimo fare a meno di provare la nostalgia (altra parola chiave di questo libro). La silloge dei testi che vengono presentati è divisa programmaticamente in grandi capitoli che raccolgono i temi forti che da sempre hanno caratterizzato lo sguardo dei critici, degli storici e dei grandi narratori di cinema. Si incomincia con gli Eroi, le grandi figure di registi e attori senza i quali il cinema come lo conosciamo neppure esisterebbe (e la cui mancanza, al momento della morte, ci rende sgomenti e ci fa pensare che il mondo abbia perso qualcosa di essenziale), per approdare poi a Cinema e politica (relazione fondativa o peccato originale del cinema?), e a Cinema e società (in un gioco di influenze che nel pensiero di Farinotti è reciproco: il cinema ha “fatto” la società almeno tanto quanto la società si è espressa nel cinema). Il capitolo dedicato al Cinema Italiano è quello in cui la parola chiave “nostalgia” si declina più profondamente, nella constatazione di un declino che non è laudatio temporis acti fine a se stessa, ma indicazione di una direzione, anzi di direzioni, per un ritorno, una ripresa. L’ultimo capitolo, Elzeviri, rappresenta un’uscita dal cinema verso gli altri territori della cultura e dell’arte e si chiude con una conversazione tutta da leggere tra Pino Farinotti e Massimiliano Finazzer Flory dedicata alla notte tra El Greco e Buñuel. In un capitolo a parte, posto quasi a epigrafe del volume, si parla, come è giusto, di Avatar. Troppo presto per inserire questo singolo film in una prospettiva storica, ci stiamo tutti chiedendo se siamo di fronte a un nuovo capitolo epocale o soltanto a un fortunato accidente della cronaca. Un ultimo avviso: il farinotti-pensiero si esprime in farinottilingua, che è un italiano diretto, muscolare, che unisce la precisione dello storico alla fantasia del romanziere e si tiene assai lontano dalle fumisterie di molta lingua criticocinematografica. Con un’altra implacabile volontà: quella di capire e di farsi capire, di suscitare accordo o opposizione, e di stare sempre, come dice un noto tormentone farinottiano, “dalla parte del pubblico”.

"The end of the Second World War saw the emergence in Italy of the neorealism movement, which produced a number of films characterized by stories set among the poor and working class, often shot on location using non-professional actors. In this study Christopher Wagstaff provides an in-depth analysis of neorealist film, focusing on three films that have had a major impact on filmmakers and audiences around the world: Roberto Rossellini's Roma città aperta and Paisà and Vittorio De Sica's Ladri di biciclette. Indeed, these films are still, more than half a century after they were made, among the most highly regarded works in the history of cinema. In this insightful and carefully researched work, Wagstaff suggests that the importance of these films is largely due to the aesthetic and rhetorical qualities of their assembled sounds and images rather than, as commonly thought, their particular representations of historical reality.The author begins by situating neorealist cinema in its historical, industrial, commercial, and cultural context. He goes on to provide a theoretical discussion of realism and the merits of neorealist films, individually and collectively, as aesthetic artefacts. He follows with a detailed analysis of the three films, focusing on technical and production aspects as well as on the significance of the films as cinematic works of art.While providing a wealth of information and analysis previously unavailable to an English-speaking audience, Italian Neorealist Cinema offers a radically new perspective on neorealist cinema and the Italian art cinema that followed it."

This is the first collection of original critical essays devoted to exploring the misunderstood, neglected and frequently caricatured role played by the film producer. The editors' introduction provides a conceptual and methodological overview, arguing that the producer's complex and multifaceted role is crucial to a film's success or failure. The collection is divided into three sections where detailed individual essays explore a broad range of contrasting producers working in different historical, geographical, generic and industrial contexts. Rather than suggest there is a single type of producer, the collection analyses the rich variety of roles producers play, providing fascinating and informative insights into how the film industry actually works. This groundbreaking collection challenges several of the conventional orthodoxies of film studies, providing a new approach that will become required reading for scholars and students.

A History of Italian Cinema, 2nd edition is the much anticipated update from the author of the bestselling Italian Cinema - which has been published in four landmark editions and will celebrate its 35th anniversary in 2018. Building upon decades of research, Peter Bondanella and Federico Pacchioni reorganize the current History in order to keep the book fresh and responsive not only to the actual films being created in Italy in the twenty-first century but also to the rapidly changing priorities of Italian film studies and film scholars. The new edition brings the definitive history of the subject, from the birth of cinema to the present day, up to date with a revised filmography as well as more focused attention on the melodrama, the crime film, and the historical drama. The book is expanded to include a new generation of directors as well as to highlight themes such as gender issues, immigration, and media politics. Accessible, comprehensive, and heavily illustrated throughout, this is an essential purchase for any fan of Italian film.

"Francesco Rosi (1922-2015) occupies a unique place in postwar Italian, indeed postwar world cinema. His films show a consistent formal balance while representing historical events as social emblems that examine, shape, and reflect the national identity. This important body of work, which has made a vital mark on the works of directors like Martin Scorsese remains to be examined for the English-speaking audience. This study addresses Rosi's films as mosaics fashioned out of "clips" collected from the various stages of production, most specifically from the director's own archival materials. My approach situates each film in its artistic and cultural context, but also attends to the specific forms and ethical commitment that characterize each film"--

Nino Rota is one of the most important composers in the history of cinema. Both popular and prolific, he wrote some of the most cherished and memorable of all film music – for The Godfather Parts I and II, The Leopard, the Zeffirelli Shakespeares, nearly all of Fellini and for more than 140 popular Italian movies. Yet his music does not quite work in the way that we have come to assume music in film works: it does not seek to draw us in and identify, nor to overwhelm and excite us. In itself, in its pretty but reticent melodies, its at once comic and touching rhythms, and in its relation to what's on screen, Rota's music is close and affectionate towards characters and events but still restrained, not detached but ironically attached. In this major new study of Rota's film career, Richard Dyer gives a detailed account of Rota's aesthetic, suggesting it offers a new approach to how we understand both film music and feeling and film more broadly. He also provides a first full account in English of Rota's life and work, linking it to notions of plagiarism and pastiche, genre and convention, irony and narrative. Rota's practice is related to some of the major ways music is used in film, including the motif, musical reference, underscoring and the difference between diegetic and non-diegetic music, revealing how Rota both conforms to and undermines standard conceptions. In addition, Dyer considers the issue of gay cultural production, Rota's favourte genre, comedy, and his productive collaboration with the director Federico Fellini.

Disenthralling Ourselves portrays contemporary Israel in a process of transition. Jewish-Israeli and Palestinian-Israeli communities share a nation-state divided by the separate truths of its conflicting fundamental narratives. This book considers ways of converting those separate and antagonistic narratives from fuel for conflict to seeds of change. Its purpose is to undo the convenient coherence of collective memory and master narratives through fostering a capacious moral imagination able to apprehend diverse, even contentious, stories and truths. Contemporary Israel functions as a case study in an in-depth and interdisciplinary exploration of conflict resolution, viewing Jewish-Israeli and Palestinian-Israeli docpostwar Italian and European cinema it is much less known--especially outside of Italy--that such success has much to do with the writings of his fifteen-year collaborator and scriptwriter, Ennio Flaiano (1910-72), journalist, novelist, dramatist, and theater and film critic. This book identifies the ways in which Flaiano's distinctive travel diary--satirically registering the transformative journey from provincial Italian to global citizen--captured and shaped the changing tastes of an entire generation of Italians on the film set, in the newspaper office, and on the street. The book highlights Flaiano's uneven yet steadily developing anticolonialist stance, his emerging postmodern autobiography, and his interrogation of notions of regional, national and cultural superiority. Marisa S. Trubiano is Assistant Professor of Italian at Montclair State University.
