{"product_id":"italian-giallo-in-film-and-television-a-critical-history-9781476682488","title":"Italian Giallo in Film and Television: A Critical History","description":"Since the release in 1929 of a popular book series with bright yellow covers, the Italian word \u003ci\u003egiallo\u003c\/i\u003e (yellow) has come to define a whole spectrum of mystery and detective fiction and films. Although most English speakers associate the term \u003ci\u003egiallo\u003c\/i\u003e with the violent and erotic thrillers popular in the 1960s and 1970s from directors like Mario Bava, Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci and others, the term encompasses a wide range of Italian media such as mysteries, thrillers and detective stories--even comedies and political pamphlets. As films like \u003ci\u003eBlood and Black Lace\u003c\/i\u003e (1964) and \u003ci\u003eDeep Red\u003c\/i\u003e (1975) have received international acclaim, \u003ci\u003egiallo\u003c\/i\u003e is a fluid and dynamic genre that has evolved throughout the decades. This book examines the many facets of the \u003ci\u003egiallo\u003c\/i\u003e genre --narrative, style, themes, and influences. It explores Italian films, made-for-TV films and miniseries from the dawn of sound cinema to the present, discussing their impact on society, culture and mores.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10453902\"\u003eRoberto Curti\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476682488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476682488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER004130\"\u003eFilm | Genres | Horror\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoberto Curti\u003c\/b\u003e is an Italian film historian and a contributor to periodicals and to books published in Italy, Great Britain and Spain as well as the United States.
