Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
Conducted in Italian. This course will offer graduate students the opportunity to explore directors, films, and movements of Italian cinema from Postwar to the New Millennium. A central focus will be the definition of authorship in the study of Italian cinema. From Neorealism to Comedy "Italian Style," from the art films of the 1960s to contemporary experimentation, Italian directors have shaped the Italian cinematic universe and consolidated its relevance worldwide. The ultimate goal is to provide graduate students with the critical tools to analyze cinema and acquire methods for both teaching and writing on this subject.
