Throughout the book, Marcus brings a variety of perspectives - psychoanalytical, ideological, mass cultural - to bear on the question of how Italian filmmakers are confronting the Holocaust, and why now given the sparse output of Holocaust films produced in Italy from 1945 to the early 1990s. What emerges is a fascinating look at how film is being used to confront a particularly damning aspect of cultural history.
Marcus's study features in-depth analyses of five recent Italian films: Ricky Tognazzi's "Canone inverso," Ettore Scola's "Concorrenza sleale," Andrea and Antonio Frazzi's" Il cielo cade," Alberto Negrin's "Perlasca," and Ferzan Ozpetek's "La finestra di fronte," As an added feature, the book includes a DVD of Scola's short film "'43-'97," which has been unavailable outside of Italy until now.
