This book is a complete reworking and update of Marga Cottino-Jones' popular A Student's Guide to Italian Film (1983, 1993) . This guide retains earlier editions' interest in renowned films and directors but is also attentive to the popular films which achieved box office success among the public.
More or less an encyclopedic guide to Italian film and its history. I benefited greatly from this work because it already discusses the different trends and the famous Italian films which I can see during my free time. Terrible typos aside, this book is a must for every film fan.
