From such films as La Dolce Vita and Bicycle Thieves to Cinema Paradiso and Dear Diary, Italian cinema has provided striking images of Italy as a nation and a people. In the first comprehensive study of Italian cinema from 1886 to the present, Pierre Sorlin explores the changing relationship of Italian cinema and Italian society and asks whether the national cinema really does represent Italian interests and culture.

The Cinema of Ettore Scola offers contemporary perspectives on
Ettore Scola (1931-2016), one of the premier filmmakers of Italian
cinema. Scola was a crucial figure in postwar Italy as a
screenwriter of comedies in the 1950s and 1960s who later became
one of the country's most beloved directors in the 1970s and 1980s
with his bittersweet comedies and dramas on history, politics, and
social customs. While Scola has received extensive attention from
scholars based in Italy and France, Remi Lanzoni and Edward Bowen's
edited volume is the first English-language book on Scola's
cinematographic career. The volume (containing fourteen chapters)
is organized in four parts, the first two of which focus both on
Scola's contributions to Comedy Italian Style-as a screenwriter and
director-and his commentaries on the history of Italy, Rome, and
the film industry. The second half of the book is divided into
sections on Scola's relationship to and use of place, politics, and
legacy. Mariapia Comand's chapter begins the volume with an
exploration of the development of Scola's narrative methods by
examining his early work as an illustrator, ghostwriter, and
screenwriter. Later, Brian Tholl approaches one of Scola's
best-known and most frequently studied films, Una giornata
particolare, from a less-explored perspective, namely its
commentary on surveillance and internal exile, or confino, during
the fascist period. At the close of the volume is a broad-sweeping
tribute to and reflection on Scola's filmmaking by Gian Piero
Brunetta, a leading historian of Italian cinema who developed a
close relationship with Scola over the years, who reveals the
varied narrative strategies linked to food that the director
utilized for character development and social commentary. The
Cinema of Ettore Scola makes Scola accessible to English-reading
audiences and helps readers better understand his film style, the
major themes of his work, and the representations of
twentieth-century Italian history in his films.
