The book delves into Italy's national film style, linking it intricately to politics and the philosophies of Croce, Gentile, and Gramsci. It presents a nonlinear, intertextual film history that spans from silent films of the fascist era through neorealism to post-1968 modernist cinema. Highlighting opera and commedia dell'arte as key influences, the author analyzes the evolution of Italy's national self-image on screen, exploring themes like allegory, spectacle, and historical context. This work offers valuable insights for scholars and enthusiasts of Italian cinema and cultural studies.
