Solitude in postwar Italian and French cinema
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation examines solitude in Italian and French films of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. Through close analyses of the canonical oeuvres of four preeminent directors -- Roberto Rossellini, Robert Bresson, Jean-Luc Godard, and Michelangelo Antonioni -- I provide a new theory for the development of film aesthetics in Italian and French cinema during the postwar era. I argue that the shift from the apparent cohesion and transparency of realism to the narrative ambiguity and audio-visual fragmentation of modernist film form in their work is principally determined by the representation of solitude.
