> One of the foremost filmmakers of Italy's postwar period, Francesco Rosi
> began as assistant director for Luchino Visconti's LA TERRA TREMA (l948)
> and went on to take neo-realism in important new directions. He is the
> founder of the cinema politico genre in Italy, where the collusion between
> the state, economic special interests, and organized crime was subject to
> unrelenting critical scrutiny. Though still concerned with socio-political
> themes, his cinema moved into a more lyrical, aesthetically rich mode in
> the late l970's, including adaptations of literary works (Carlo Levi's
> CHRIST STOPPED AT EBOLI, Gabriel Garcia Marquez's CHRONICLE OF A DEATH
> FORETOLD), and even opera (Bizet's CARMEN). His most recent film, an
> adaptation of Primo Levi's post-Holocaust saga, LA TREGUA (the Truce) is
> the culmination of his historical-political and artistic development to
> date.
