Content This unit offers a study of social, historical and cultural aspects of Italian society through the analysis of Italian feature films. Students study a variety of themes, and compare them through the work of particular directors such as De Sica, Rossellini, Fellini, Visconti, Amelio, Benigni, Moretti and others. Secondary texts from the directors and their associates are also used as documentary and illustrative material, and students are expected to give these documents due consideration.
Assessment Supplementary assessment is not available in this unit except in the case of a bachelor's pass degree student who has obtained a mark of 45 to 49 and is currently enrolled in this unit, and it is the only remaining unit that the student must pass in order to complete their course.
