Italian cinema in its social context

Pierre Sorlin surveys Italian cinema from 1886 to 1996, using films including *La Dolce Vita*, *Bicycle Thieves*, *Cinema Paradiso* and *Dear Diary* to examine how cinema has pictured Italy and its people. The book connects changes in filmmaking with changes in Italian society, while questioning whether a national cinema can truly represent a country’s interests and culture. Its century-spanning scope makes the relationship between screen images and national identity the organizing question.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in the history of Italian cinema across the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
  • Film students and general readers exploring how cinema relates to society and national identity.
