In the twenty years from 1943-'63, Rome vied with Hollywood for the title of the Most Glamorous place on earth in which to be silver-screen-famous. And yet, in 1946, only 7% of the Italian population had running water, electricity or flushing loos. Within five years, Italian cinema would be exuding grace, charm, style and elegance, proposing a way of life towards which the world raced with open arms. At the forefront of this change, was Italian cinema. In this talk, illustrated by clips from Rome, Open City, The Bicycle Thieves, The Gospel According to St Matthew, Otto E Mezzo, La Dolce Vita, I Vitelloni and other masterworks, Max Newsom will seek to illuminate one of the most stunning and transformative chapters in the evolution of cinema and its impact upon the wider world.
