Federico Fellini is often considered a disengaged filmmaker, interested in self-referential dreams and grotesquerie rather than contemporary politics. This book challenges that myth by examining the filmmaker’s reception in Italy, and by exploring his films in the context of significant political debates. By conceiving Fellini’s cinema as an individual expression of the nation’s “mythical biography,” the director’s most celebrated themes and images — a nostalgia for childhood, unattainable female figures, fantasy, the circus, carnival — become symbols of Italy’s traumatic modernity and perpetual adolescence.
This 1699 Italian acting treatise includes chapters on all kinds of staged productions, scripted or improvised, sacred or secular, tragic or comic. It also addresses enunciation, diction, memorization, gestures, and stage comportment, and it describes the details important to a successful commedia dell'arte performance.

Steven Spielberg non è soltanto uno dei più noti registi del cinema contemporaneo ma un personaggio pubblico, un fenomeno culturale, un’icona del nostro tempo. Nessun altro filmmaker ha avuto un ruolo altrettanto decisivo nel ridefinire il modo di produzione, l’assetto e le strategie di Hollywood, fissando alcune delle regole che sono alla base dell’entertainment contemporaneo. Se il giudizio critico sulla sua opera è stato a lungo condizionato dagli incassi stratosferici dei suoi film, Spielberg incarna oggi la memoria, l’immaginario e la grandezza del cinema e della cultura americani. Da Lo squalo a Munich , da E.T. a Schindler’s List, da Minority Report a Ready Player One, passando per le saghe di Indiana Jones e Jurassic Park, Steven Spielberg ha esplorato generi, forme e mitologie del cinema nella sua dimensione più fantastica, epica e popolare.
