Several Italian directors and critics referred to the \u201cburden\u201d of the neorealist legacy on Italian cinema. Consider the work of directors who started their career decades after the demise of neorealism. How do the directors you have chosen interpret or subvert the conventions of realism and\/or the traits of the neorealist style? Do you notice anything interesting in the way they choose their subjects? From which perspective do they look at the events unfolding on screen? You could observe the stylistic choices made by Gianni Amelio (Lamerica) and compare them to the aesthetic of Matteo Garrone or Nanni Moretti. You should choose one or more specific instances and trace them across the films seen in class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
