Recent Italian Cinema: Spaces, Contexts, Experiences (Troubador Italian Studies)

This is a fascinating in-depth view of recent Italian cinema - bringing an interdisciplinary knowledge to the study of a complex cinema industry. This book aims to address a number of questions about Italian cinema of the last twenty years, bringing interdisciplinary knowledge to the study of a cinema that eschews traditional definitions and categories, and challenges critical assumptions about a film industry that is struggling to find a new direction. In doing so, Recent Italian Cinema offers a transverse analysis of the Italian cinema industry in its dealings with national and international film production, and of the themes and issues that have emerged in films produced during the period 1980-2006.
