A Beginner's Guide to Italian Cinema

The video is great and all, but you know, you didn't mention the greatest movie of them all: Troll 2 (XD) - 0/10 IGN

Such a great video. Really appreciate you making this!

please remember antonio pietrangeli, who was able to recount with unique sensibilities the condition of Italian women from the 1950s to the late 1960s

A few movies are very famous in Germany, other good films not... Dario Argento had always his own class. The Beyond from Fulci has more mistakes....

No mention of Tinto Brass? He's the reason why I like Italian cinema (and bushes).

Italian science fiction film's

I love italian cinema!

Italy's production is immeasurable. The gave us the mondo films, one of the craziest subgenres..

One of my favourite italian films of all times that is missing from this list is we all loved each other so much by ettore scola, a great film with meta cinema elements, an in depth look at italy from the post war era to the 70s and a great story that will get you hooked from the first scene, definitely a good movie for every cinephile who wants to experience italian cinema and also it could be a great entry point for someone who hasn't seen many italian movies

Fantastic video. Thank you.

The Grind House era of the late 60's to the early 80's.🍿🍿🍿🍿🥤🥤🥤🥤🍕🍕🍕🍕

Great video overall, I'll allow myself to make just few marginal consideration:
1- there were more political movies in the 70s (you rightfully showed Gian Maria Volonté as one of those transitioning from western to other genres)
2- from 70s through the 80s the italian b-movies had a lot of influence (i mean A LOT)

Btw, i very much enjoy your guides and find every time some hidden gems

As an Italian I thank you. Also Italian mainstream cinema nowadays sucks 💀

Cabiria the last emperor1987 life is beautiful la grande nelezza

An interesting silent italian film was "Filibus". The most prominent feature is that was the first film to ever display a lesbian kiss

Overall, even accounting for its relative decline since the 1980s, Italian cinema is unmatched in its depth, ambition, diversity, innovation, originality. I could watch Italian movies from different ages for days without ever getting bored.
Personal picks: Antonioni, one of the greatest artists ever; Sergio Leone, the Homer of our times, and Elio Petri, whose "neurology" trilogy is amongst the most original things there are. But the list could go on and on and on.
One missing name from the clip - which is very well made btw - is Marco Ferrari, who knew how to shock with contents and not with easy tricks. His "La Grand Bouffe" hits as hard as a punch in the stomach.

I hope you can make a beginner guide to Italian horror films and Asian cinemas (China, HK, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, India, etc.)

Toto Who Lived Twice please

death to communism

What about Franco Zeffirilli?

What about Mondo Films?
Or are you going to make a separate Video about it?

Great video! I've been watching a lot of Italian films recently, some might say I'm an addict, especially to the films made from the 40s through the 70s, and it is my favorite national cinema besides my own (USA). Your video does a great job at giving people an overview of Italian cinema, keeping it easy to understand, while recommending some of the country's best. Your France video does a great job of this too. Looking forward to binging your channel more

If I'm allowed to suggest, I think dogman is a masterpiece of modern Italian cinema, an hidden pearl with an enormous leading actor

Please do the history of soviet/russian cinema

I apologize if I chime in to bother, but in the end 70s early 80 there were two major kind of films that were extremely enjoyed by italians and outside ( mostly europe west and east ): the Fantozzi series and Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies.
Yes I know, things for plebeians, but worth a mention.

Great one! And not only this will help the beginners, but there are some good recommendations here as well for someone intermediate like me :) Keep it up!!
