Accessible, comprehensive, and heavily illustrated throughout, this is an essential purchase for any fan of Italian film.

Book Synopsis Italian Silent Cinema by : Giorgio Bertellini
Download or read book Italian Silent Cinema written by Giorgio Bertellini. This book was released on 2013. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the wealth of studies of silent cinema in the English language, knowledge of the medium's first decades has remained attached to a canon in which Italian silent cinema appears deceptively familiar but largely absent. With 30 essays written by leading scholars in the field, 'Italian Silent Cinema' illuminates this understudied area of film history. Featuring over 100 illustrations, the reader brings into focus individual film companies, stars and genres and seeks to place the Italian production of dramas, comedies, serials, newsreels, and avant-garde works in dialogue with international film culture.
