italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Grazi - the fun of what I'm doing, however, is trying to reverse or
perhaps de-centre the historical understanding of Italian cinema a bit by
putting the Terza Visione into the centre, rather than bourgeois art and
prima visione. Many thanks for your help though.
