Description: La Dolce Morte : Vernacular Cinema And the Italian Giallo Film, Paperback by Koven, Mikel J., ISBN 0810858703, ISBN-13 9780810858701, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "Giallo," Italian for "yellow," is applied to a vernacular film genre (., Sergio Martino's Torso, 1973) based on mystery novels with bright yellow covers that an Italian publisher has been producing since the 1920s. In the context of psychodynamics and Italian audiences, Koven (film and television studies, U. of Wales, Aberystwyth) explores themes including the outsider, sexually-driven murder, the amateur detective's role, and a view of these films from Pasolini's theory of a "cinema of poetry." He concludes that gialli, like other horror cinema, reflect modernity's ambivalence toward both traditional folk beliefs and science. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
