[02/11/2022] Cinetalkies: History of Italian Cinema

in Cinetalkies3 years ago (edited)

"Your Favorite Italian Cinema"

When I think of Italian movies I think of Italian Mafia first. No one denies the reality of Italian organized crime. But one should remember that every few perpetrators, by definition, need many victims. But the glorification of Mafia creates a different perception about Italian Movies.

We have also discussed a lot on other European movies in earlier sessions.

  1. Russian Movies
  2. German Movies
  3. French Movies

Before that the theme of #cinetalkies was the Asian cinema where we discussed Indian, Korean and Japanese Movies.

Theorama is no doubt one of the best Italian shows.Terence Stamp plays a mysterious stranger whose stay with a middle-class family causes tremors of tension and disquiet.

Malena is the utterly unforgettable story of a boy's journey into manhood amid the chaos and intolerance of World War II. It is a very interesting story of a beautiful woman in an Italian town.

Yeah, I have seen it. It's really a beautiful film but honestly I did actually watched it only for Monica Bellucci but I loved the plot and crazy adventure of teenage boy,😜 !LOL !PIZZA

One of the famous Italian mafia movies ever made and is largely regarded as one of the best films of all time. This crime film takes place in 1940s New York City, The Godfather tells the story of the mafia family and passing of the family crime business to his son
It was released 50 years back

The Godfather is not the Italian film. It could be argued that it is an Italian American film, but not Italian.

Linking all the previous posts in one of the posts is good, but I will suggest that you should add more such posts to make it easy for google or even the cinetalkies community members to navigate through. It is a good initiative

Fellini for me is one of the best directors of all time, and he did the most os his movies in Italy. For shure 8 1/2 its the best one !

It could be argued that Italian cinema history, like Italian history in general, is longer and more colourful than history of some other countries. Italian cinema industry was known for its diversity and various styles, trends and movements through 20th Century. From first historic epics during silent era, to escapist comedies of White Telephones propagated by Fascist regime in 1930s, post-WW2 reaction to it in the form Italian neorealism, than populist comedies of 1950s, peplum (sword & sandals) film of 1960s, followed by spaghetti western, 1970s polizioteschi crime films, giallo thriller/horror films, as well as late 1970s/early 1980s exploitation classics about zombies, cannibals, mercenaries, nuns and barbarians.

La vita è Bella 1997 or Life is Beautiful in English, one of my favourites Italian movie, this one actually moved me alot the first time I watched it. A beautiful story line, great cast and amazing direction, Roberto Benigni Was true highlight of this movie.

really good one to watch
