DOWNLOAD EBOOKPubblicato in occasione della retrospettiva dedicata a tutto il cinema restaurato di Luchino Visconti questo libro si presenta nella doppia veste di catalogo e di studio critico. Ciascuno dei diciannove film girati da Visconti è illustrato da un saggio analitico-interpretativo (corredato da cast, credits, e sinossi), mentre la raccolta si apre con un profilo generale sull'opera non cinematografica del regista. Ogni saggio è stato affidato ad uno studioso diverso. La raccolta affronta i maggiori campi di indagine che il cinema di Visconti chiama in causa: il neorealismo, il melodramma, la rappresentazione della storia, il rapporto tra cinema e letteratura. La raccolta rende giustizia anche ai cosiddetti "film minori" fino ad oggi poco studiati.

Meticulously examining Visconti's use of European art in his set and costume design, Reframing Luchino Visconti also investigates his cinematography in terms of staging, framing, and mirroring, among other aspects, offering valuable contextualization for the optical splendor in Visconti's films and revealing their close ties to the other visual arts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnveils the metaphoric and theoretical possibilities of fabric in the films of Luchino Visconti. In Luchino Visconti and the Fabric of Cinema, Joe McElhaney situates Visconti's films as privileged and deeply expressive instances of a trope that McElhaney identifies as the "cinema of fabric": a reoccurrence in film in which textiles—clothing, curtains, tablecloths, bedsheets—determine the filming process. An Italian neorealist, Visconti emerges out of a movement immediately following WWII wherein fabric assumes crucial functions, yet Visconti's use of fabric surpasses his colleagues in many ways, including its fluid, multifaceted articulations of space and time. Visconti's homosexuality is central to this theory in that it assumes metaphoric potential in addressing "forbidden" sexual desires that are made visible in the films. Visconti's cinema of fabric gives voice to desires not simply for human bodies draped in fabric but also for entire environments, a world of the senses in which fabric becomes a crucial method for giving form to such desires. McElhaney examines Visconti's neorealist origins in Ossessione, La terra trema, and Rocco and His Brothers, particularly through fabric's function within literary realism and naturalism. Neorealist revisionism through the extravagant drapings of the diva film is examined in Bellissima and Senso whereas White Nights and The Strangerare examined for the theatricalizing through fabric of their literary sources. Visconti's interest in German culture vis-à-vis The Damned, Death in Venice, and Ludwig, is articulated through a complex intertwining of fabric, aesthetics, politics, and transgressive sexual desire. Finally, Visconti's final two films, Conversation Piece and The Innocent, assess through fabric both the origins of Italian fascism and the political tensions contemporaneous with the films' productions. Fabric in Visconti is often tied to the aesthetic impulse itself in a world of visionaries attempting to dominate their surrounding environments and where a single piece of fabric may come to represent the raw material for creation. This book will tantalize any reader with a keen eye and strong interest in film and queer studies.
