Mavericks of Italian Cinema: Eight Unorthodox Filmmakers, 1940s-2000s - Paperback
Details
by Roberto Curti (Author)
The history of Italian cinema includes, in addition to the renowned auteurs, a number of peculiar and lesser-known filmmakers.
While their artistry was often plagued with production setbacks, their works--influenced by poetry, playwriting, advertising, literature, comics and a nonconformist, sometimes antagonistic attitude--were original and thought provoking.
Drawing from official papers and original scripts, this book includes much previously unpublished information on the works and lives of post-World War II filmmakers Pier Carpi, Alberto Cavallone, Riccardo Ghione, Giulio Questi, Brunello Rondi, Paolo Spinola, Augusto Tretti and Nello Vegezzi.
Author Biography
