520 Contemporary Italian Filmmaking is an innovative critique
of Italian filmmaking in the aftermath of World War II -
as it moves beyond traditional categories such as genre
film and auteur cinema. Manuela Gieri demonstrates that
Luigi Pirandello's revolutionary concept of humour was
integral to the development of a counter-tradition in
Italian filmmaking that she defines 'humoristic'. She
delineates a 'Pirandellian genealogy' in Italian cinema,
literature, and culture through her examination of the
works of Federico Fellini, Ettore Scola, and many
directors of the 'new generation, ' such as Nanni Moretti,
Gabriele Salvatores, Maurizio Nichetti, and Giuseppe
Tornatore. A celebrated figure of the theatrical world,
Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) is little known beyond Italy
for his critical and theoretical writings on cinema and
for his screenplays. Gieri brings to her reading of
Pirandello's work the critical parameters offered by
psychoanalysis, poststructuralism, and postmodernism to
develop a syncretic and transcultural vision of the
history of Italian cinema. She identifies two fundamental
trends of development in this tradition: the 'melodramatic
imagination' and the 'humoristic, ' or comic, imagination.
With her focus on the humoristic imagination, Gieri
describes a 'Pirandellian mode' derived from his
revolutionary utterances on the cinema and narrative, and
specifically, from his essay on humour, L'umorismo (On
Humour, 1908). She traces a history of the Pirandellian
mode in cinema and investigates its characteristics,
demonstrating the original nature of Italian filmmaking
that is particularly indebted to Pirandello's
interpretation of humour.
