BOOK DESCRIPTION: The work of Italian film director Marco Tullio Giordana has recently become the subject of academic attention. Major scholars in the field of Italian Studies have expressed interest in his work in articles, book chapters and presentations. His films are constantly screened at Italian film festivals and are widely used as tools in the teaching of the Italian language and culture. A comprehensive evaluation of Giordana’s work is therefore needed in the field of Italian film studies, if only because his work demonstrates that the claim of a crisis of Italian cinema is not justified. Through the volume we intend to explore and analyze the multifarious nature of Giordana’s cinematic production as well as its critical/crucial role in the representation of Italian cultural history.
