Publisher's Synopsis
The Classic Film Series highlights movies from the past, forgotten, overlooked and cherished alike, selected for their influence, relevance and worth. In this edition, writer, musician and filmmaker Chris Wade looks at Italian cinema during the 1960s, an era which saw the release of immortal masterpieces like Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita and 8 1/2, Vittorio De Sica's Two Women, Michelangelo Antonioni's La Notte and L'Avventura, and a host of other films which have stood the test of time and continue to influence and inspire to this day. This book explores this magical period by focusing on 32 key movies, ranging from comedies and political dramas, to surrealist dreamscapes, Giallo thrillers and everything in between.
