Title:
Stan Brakhage on Italian Neorealism
Description:
Stan Brakhage mentions that there are very few collaborative underground films and how collaborative films only possess the style of a single director. Then he notes some of the works of James Agee. He also mentions Helen Levitt's still photography and argues that 'In the Street' possesses her style. He compares the portrayal of the slums in 'The Bicycle Thief' and 'In the Street.' Brakhage tells some stories about Leni Riefenstahl. He gives biographies of Vittorio De Sica and Roberto Rossellini and how 'Rome, Open City' started their careers in Italian Neorealism. He then describes the importance of Italian Neorealism. Note: this recording is identical to the one titled Lecture Original Levitt Loeb Agee De Sica.
