The Cinema of Ettore Scola

The Cinema of Ettore Scola, edited by Remi Lanzoni and Edward Bowen, begins with a succinct critical analysis and personal foreword by Vito Zagarrio (xi-xvi). After a rather lengthy and thorough introduction by the editors of this scholarly volume, this study is structured into four major parts, consisting of thirteen individual chapters followed by a coda by the renowned film scholar Gian Piero Brunetta. Uva addresses Scola's view on the conflict between Italian politics and culture and on its direct negative impact on the working class and their family life.
