The Operatic and the Everyday in Postwar Italian Film Melodrama
Bayman, Louis (Lecturer, University of Southampton)
This monograph argues for the centrality of melodrama to Italian culture. It uncovers a wealth of films rarely discussed before including family melodramas, the crime stories of neorealismo popolare and opera films, and provides interpretive frameworks that position them in wider debates on aesthetics and society.
