Traditions in World Cinema

Italian Post-Neorealist Cinema
Luca Barattoni


Unlike France, the Czech Republic or Brazil, Italy did not have a new wave properly understood as a movement. However, while new artistic schools were emerging in many other countries, Italy was undergoing its most dramatic social and economic transformations. This book explores the ferments of Italian cinema from the 50s to the end of the 60s.
