italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Hello all,
thanks for all your suggestions. Here there's a summary of the movies
suggested. Most of them, to my knowledge, do not have english subtitles
that are necessary (at least if I would like to show the entire movie)
for students who do not speak or understand any italian. The course is
designed to expose Freshman students to italian culture (and I thought
of food as a fundamental "cultural marker":
Grazie mille,
Lidia Ciccone
Big Night
Pranzo di Ferragosto
GodFather
Il Gattopardo
Miseria e Nobilta' (and many more of Toto' movies)
La Cena
Un Americano a Roma
La Storia di Ragazzi e Ragazze (Pupi Avati)
Pasolini's Decameron
C'eravamo tanto amati, La Terrazza (Ettore Scola)
A very useful book is:
Dalla fame all'abbondanza. Gli italiani e il cibo nel cinema italiano
dal dopoguerra ad oggi, di Viviana Lapertosa (Lindau, 2002)
