Brief readings accompany each film. The sixteen films covered in this text range from Pietro Germi’s Divorzio all’italiana (Divorce Italian Style, 1961) to Pupi Avati’s Il cuore altrove (The Heart is Elsewhere, 2003), with the majority of them (fourteen) produced since 1988. They also cover a broad range of genres: comedy, drama, science fiction, historical, political, social. They are films that students and instructors find interesting and engaging. Readings accompany each film. The readings vary and augment the film screenings and class discussions. There are five types of readings: background information on the director and film, cultural explications, scene transcriptions, director’s comments, and poetry. While the very first two serve to orient and contextualize the films for the students, the transcriptions allows for a more detailed linguistic analysis of a particular scene. The director’s comments provide an insightful interpretation to stimulate discussion. The poetry readings were inspired by filmic references and inspire students to expand their insights beyond the specific film. The text is entirely in Italian. The films may be assigned in any order. Each chapter provides a wealth of exercises and activities (both individual and group) from which to choose depending on the abilities of the students.
