Place, Setting, Perspective examines the films of the Italian
filmmaker, Nanni Moretti, from a fresh viewpoint, employing the
increasingly significant research area of space within a filmic
text. The book is conceived with the awareness that space cannot be
studied only in aesthetic or narrative terms: social, political,
and cultural aspects of narrated spaces are equally important if a
thorough appraisal is to be achieved of an oeuvre such as
Moretti's, which is profoundly associated with socio-political
commentary and analysis. After an exploration of various existing
frameworks of narrative space in film, the book offers a particular
definition of the term based on the notions of Place, Setting, and
Perspective. Place relates to the physical aspect of narrative
space and specifically involves cityscapes, landscapes, interiors,
and exteriors in the real world. Setting concerns genre
characteristics of narrative space, notably its differentiated use
in melodrama, detective stories, fantasy narratives, and gender
based scenarios. Perspective encompasses the point of view taken
optically by the camera which supports the standpoint of Moretti's
personal philosophy expressed through the aesthetic aspects which
he employs to create narrative space. The study is based on a close
textual analysis of Moretti's eleven major feature films to date,
using the formal film language of mise-en-scene, cinematography,
editing, and sound. The aim is to show how Moretti selects,
organizes, constructs, assembles, and manipulates the many elements
of narrative space into an entire work of art, to enable meanings
and pleasures for the spectator.
