Description

Praise for Italian Cinema:

“Extremely interesting and stimulating.” ”Bernardo Bertolucci

“A very good book and a very accurate one.” ”Federico Fellini

“The librarian who does not get Bondanella immediately must be petitioned, picketed, importuned.” ”Choice

“To measure the progress and development of Anglo-American studies on Italian cinema, one needs only to consider Peter Bondanella’s pioneering and seminal Italian Cinema: from Neorealism to the Present…Bondanella’s work carries the crucial merit of having opened up a panoramic view of Italian national cinema to Anglo-American film scholars who in general were mostly familiar with only a few masterpieces. Over the years, Bondanella’s systematic approach has enabled and inspired countless studies.” ”Gian Piero Brunetta, Professor of History and Film Criticism, University of Padua, Italy
