De Sica, Fellini, Antonioni. Italy has a long, illustrious history in cinema. Some of the greatest directors and actors gaining international acclaim are Italian, and Italy has won more Academy Awards for foreign language films than any other country. We will examine some of its most acclaimed movies and directors in this six-movie series. We will look at movies from the post-war neorealism period to the 21st century. Participants will watch films online through streaming platforms or on DVD and join a Zoom session for group discussions. Please watch Umberto D. by Vittorio De Sica prior to the first meeting. It is currently available free on Kanopy, with subscription on Disney+, and for rent on Prime.
