The book is the first to examine contemporary Italian cinema from a
socio-political perspective, drawing on the expertise of film
scholars, political activists, and directors, including the
Oscar-winning film-maker Giuseppe Tornatore. This innovative volume
examines the nature of filmic representations of social, economic
and political issues in Italian cinema over the past fifteen years.
The book adopts a unique, cross-disciplinary approach, featuring
essays not only by film scholars but also by political activists
and trade unionists. Its aim is to reconnect Italian film
scholarship with the concrete realities of issues such as immigrant
welfare, workers' rights and grass roots political activism in
contemporary Italy. The volume's sections focus on the following
themes: Workers and the Workplace; Gender, Sexuality and Social
Identity; Migration, Multiculturalism and Integration. Each section
is preceded by a detailed introduction examining key films, and the
fifteen individual essays in the volume analyse influential films
including Giuseppe Tornatore's La sconosciuta, Paolo Virzi's Tutta
la vita davanti, Cristina Comencini's Bianco e nero, Ferzan
Ozpetek's Saturno contro, Carlo Mazzacurati's La giusta distanza
and Roberta Torre's Angela. The book also features an exclusive
6,000 word interview with the Oscar-winning director Giuseppe
Tornatore, who discusses the socio-political influences that have
emerged in his cinema. Contributors to the volume include William
Hope, Flavia Laviosa, Luciana d'Arcangeli, Susanna Scarparo and
Bernadette Luciano.
