Books by Pierre Sorlin

An examination of European cinema, this book considers the cinematic resistance to Nazism. The author discusses why European cinema was never able to deal seriously with the rise of fascism and then analyzes the film-maker's response to Hollywood.

This work explores the changing relationship of Italian cinema and Italian society, and asks whether the national cinema really does represent Italian interests and culture. Sorlin discusses the work of major film makers such as De Sica, Visconti, Fellini, Antonioni and Moretti.
