In Cesare Zavattini's Neo-realism and the Afterlife of an Idea , David Brancaleone instead presents a vital portrait of the screenwriter for the first time, exploring his history as an active Neo-realist organizer, Modernist writer, political protestor, and celebrated filmmaker in the light of unprecedented access to archival material. Through a multidisciplinary lens that examines Zavattini's cultural politics, interventions into press, television, and journalism, experimental filmmaking, and personal history, Brancaleone reconstructs the extent of Zavattini's contribution to cinema and culture."-- UR - https://doi.org/10.5040/9781501316999?locatt=label:secondary_bloomsburyCollections ER -
