ITAS 098 - Italian Popular Film Genres
This course explores post-war Italian cinema beyond the neorealist and European auteur canons, focusing instead on the rise of popular film genres between the late 1950s and the late 1970s: peplum, gothic horror, spaghetti western, mondo documentary and giallo. In the context of the profound cultural changes brought forth by the economic “boom” and the impact of television on film production, distribution and exhibition, we will see how different genres and sub-genres reflect increasing anxiety about modernization, globalization, shifting gender roles and political unrest.
