- Summary:
- Neapolitan cinema has a wealth of distinct regional traditions that challenge convention and portray a distinctive identity. Alex Marlow-Mann's book is the first text on New Neapolitan Cinema in any language. Three films changed the region's cinematic landscape in the early 1990s: "Vito and the Others" (1991), "Death of a Neapolitan Mathematician" (1992), and "Libera" (1993). This text discusses the impact of their critical success on a thriving Naples film industry by analyzing over 45 contemporary Italian films, thus inking Neapolitan cinema to the wider context of regional filmmaking.
