Antonio Pietrangeli, The Director of Women

Feminism and Film Theory in Postwar Italian Cinema

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book re-examines the films of Antonio Pietrangeli, one of the founding fathers of neorealism in the postwar period in Italy, from a feminist perspective. Of the ten full-length films completed by Antonio Pietrangeli, eight featured a female protagonist. This attention to the female subject is noteworthy today, much less in the 1950s and 1960s.
