Università Roma Tre

In the first place, the course offers a theoretical and historical reflection on the role gained by the landscape in cinema, investigating its essential characteristics, its evolution over time and its gradual redefinition or resemantization. Then the class analyses cinema representations of landscape, identifying the most relevant forms and meanings it takes on within movies. Finally, the course proposes a taxonomy of landscape in Italian cinema of the 1950s and 1960s.
