How postwar filmmakers redefined the Italian landscape, culture, and
cinematic aesthetic
ITALIAN LOCATIONS: Reinhabiting the Past in Postwar Cinema
Noa Steimatsky

In this examination of Italian filmmakers Antonioni, Pasolini, Rossellini,
and Visconti, Noa Steimatsky brilliantly maps their negotiation of Italy¹s
identity and posits that the cinematic forms they employ constitute an
imaginary reinhabiting of Italy‹one that is inextricably linked with the
predicament of reconstruction. A dynamic intersection of pictorial and
photographic, architectural and literary discourses inform Steimatsky¹s
revisionist interrogation of exemplary works from the 1940s to the
mid1960s.
"Vivid and elegantly written, Italian Locations is an original and
thought-provoking book." ‹Geoffrey Nowell-Smith
"Noa Steimatsky brilliantly uses new materials and perspectives to
illuminate the central films in Italian Locations. An outstanding book." ‹P.
Adams Sitney
