Course Description
Italian cinema has a long and glorious tradition from movements like “neorealism” to auteurs like Visconti, Rossellini, and Fellini. This class is structured in the form of a cultural geography of three cities, following the boot from north to south. It offers a deliberate contrast of representation between the classic and the contemporary so we have a better sense of the land and the people through the camera’s capture of history.
