Roberto Rossellini

"This is the first serious American book about my father . . . and a missing piece in the history of film for American film-lovers." --Isabella Rossellini "Informative and well-balanced. . . .This book will surely become the standard reference for any filmgoer, as well as the starting point for further discussions and research." --The New York Times Book Review "A deft critique rich in psychological, structural, and above all, cinematic insight. . . .Serious film students will welcome this overdue, brilliant assessment." --Kirkus Reviews
