<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>This book traces the roots of neorealist film and draws parallels to neorealist fiction, by surveying the major creative contributions to and critical receptions of this trend in Italian postwar cinema. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>How has Italian neorealist cinema changed the boundaries of cinematic narration and representation? </p> <p>In this new study, Torunn Haaland argues that neorealism was a cultural moment based on individual optiques. She accounts for the tradition's coherence in terms of its moral commitment to creating critical viewing experiences around underrepresented realities and marginalised people. By examining both acclaimed masterpieces and lesser known works, parallels are drawn to realist theories and to past and present cinematic traditions. The ways in which successive generations of directors have readopted, negotiated and broken with the themes and aesthetics of neorealist film are discussed and evaluated, along with neorealist tendencies in other arts, such as literature.</p> <p>An engaging and informative read for students and scholars in Italian Studies, Italian Neorealist Cinema presents a new approach to a key cinematic tradition, and so is essential reading for everyone working in the field of Film Studies.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Torunn Haaland is Assistant Professor of Italian in the Department of Modern Languages at Gonzaga University.<p>
