A Critical Companion to David Fincher
The thirteen chapters in this collection analyze David Fincher’s development as a filmmaker, from television commercials and music videos to serving as front runner on the series Mindhunter. The contributors explore a variety of characteristics, including Fincher’s attitudes toward his audiences, his attention to detail, his Gothic sense of evil, his modernization of film noir, and his reinvention of the serial killer. The diversity of approaches highlights the paradoxes of Fincher’s films and style, accentuating the tensions between his innovative methods and storytelling and unpacking the perennial questions of love, life, and death that his films raise. Scholars of film, television, and media will find this book especially salient.
Tonino Valerii
Tonino Valerii is one of Italy's best genre film directors. Starting out as Sergio Leone's assistant on For a Few Dollars More (1965), he went on to direct spaghetti westerns that stand out among the most accomplished in their class--Day of Anger (1967), The Price of Power (1969), A Reason to Live, a Reason to Die! (1972) and My Name Is Nobody (1973). He also directed the outstanding giallo My Dear Killer (1972). This book examines Valerii's life and career in depth for the first time, with exclusive interviews with the filmmaker, scriptwriters and actors, and critical analysis of his films.

Ein Haus wie Ich
Selbstthematisierung und Selbstreflexion haben ihren klassischen Ort in Tagebuch, Memoiren und Brief. In der Moderne jedoch wird verstärkt das Haus als »Abdruck seines Bewohners« (Walter Benjamin) erkannt, was von einer neuen privilegierten Entäußerungsform des Ich in der Architektur zeugt. In diesem interdisziplinären Sammelband wird ein ebenso vielfältiges wie spannendes Bild davon entworfen, wie Sprache und Subjekt ihr Territorium auf das Haus ausdehnen und wie sich life writing und life building ergänzen. Ein Fazit, das alle Beiträge eint und sich erstaunlich vormodern liest: Das Ich bewohnt ein Haus, aber das Haus bewohnt auch das Ich.

Building upon decades of research, Peter Bondanella and Federico Pacchioni reorganize the current History in order to keep the book fresh and responsive not only to the actual films being created in Italy in the twenty-first century but also to the rapidly changing priorities of Italian film studies and film scholars.

Il trofeo Ford di rallycross
L’idea di scrivere questo libro nasce dall’esigenza di colmare un “vuoto” esistente in letteratura, perché nessun testo dedicato all’automobilismo sportivo aveva mai affrontato in maniera organica la storia e la genesi del Trofeo Ford di Rallycross, quell’avvincente campionato organizzato dalla Ford Italia che richiamava l’attenzione di numerosi appassionati a cavallo tra gli anni sessanta e settanta, tramandato ai giorni nostri da alcune sequenze del noto film “Altrimenti ci arrabbiamo” con Bud Spencer e Terence Hill. Insomma abbiamo voluto creare il libro che abbiamo sempre sognato di leggere, ma che nessuno si era mai preso l’onere e l’onore di scrivere!
Bud Spencer e Terence Hill. La vera storia di Giuseppe Colizzi
Giuseppe Colizzi è un nome sicuramente sconosciuto al grande pubblico cinematografico (e forse, in parte, anche al piccolo) ma per ciò che ha inventato l’industria italiana del cinema dovrebbe, almeno, ricordarsi ancora di lui. Ma cosa ha inventato di così eclatante quest’uomo... una formula segreta? Non proprio, ma la formula per attirare il pubblico al cinema quella sì, e ha un nome, anzi due, Terence Hill e Bud Spencer! Se in Dio perdona... io no!, l’esordio cinematografico di Colizzi, la scoperta della coppia è avvenuta per caso, con i film successivi il regista saprà re-inventarla e dosarne le potenzialità all’interno delle sue sceneggiature. Giuseppe Colizzi, però, non ...
