Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 160 pages. Published in 2001. Book-length appreciation and appraisal of subjects. Now considered a contemporary film classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. The GREMESE Editore Edition was published simultaneously in Italian-, French-, and English-Language Editions. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents "The Cinema of Paolo And Vittorio Taviani: Nature, Culture, And history Revealed by Two Tuscan Masters". A portrait of Italian film craftsmen as geniuses. The single most thorough study and loving homage to the cinema of Vittorio and Paolo Taviani, the brothers who have worked together as co-filmmakers on some of the greatest films ever made of the 20th century. They have produced at least two full-fledged masterpieces, "Padre Padrone" ("My Father, My Master") and "La Notte di San Lorenzo" (known in the English-speaking world as "The Night of the Shooting Stars"), which have not only endured but prevailed in the sense that the Taviani Brothers' deliberate, rigorous, and austere post-Neo-Realism style (so "un-Italian", as some critics have noted, for their restraint and understated drama) remains the central style of all great European film-making instead of Fellini's more flamboyant, but genuinely great, film style. "Here is the complete oeuvre of two bashful, talented artisans, recognized as pioneers of a uniquely intense cinema. A selection of high-quality essays, brought together and complemented by some of the most beautiful images" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Paolo and Vittorio Taviani collectors. This title is now collectible. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with stunning images from the films and on location. Two of the greatest film artist of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 8873014666. no. Seller Inventory # 14479
