Awesome!

She is one of the most incredibly sophisticated, sensitive, erudite human beings I have ever made connection with. If she writes it, you must read it. ....

Italian film comes alive

Landy has done it again! "Italian Film" continues with remarkable clarity her dissection of Italian film culture since "Fascism in Film." Princeton: Princeton University Press; 1986. The book steps outside traditional terrains of national cinema to explore questions of landscape, history, femininity, masculinity, stardom, and relations between film and television. Neorealism finally gets its due in Landy's innovative treatment. Highly recommended for Summer reading.
