Marco Bellocchio is one of Italys most important and prolific directors; with a career spanning five decades. In this book; Clodagh J. Brook explores the boundaries between the public and the private; the political and the personal; and the collective and the individual as they appear in Bellocchios films. Including work on psychoanalysis; politics; film production; autobiography; and the relationship between film tradition and contemporary culture; Marco Bellocchio touches on fundamental issues in film analysis.Brooks study interrogates what it means to make personal or anti-institutional art in a medium dominated by a late-capitalist industrial model of production. Her readings of Bellocchios often enigmatic and perplexing work suggest new ways to answer questions about subjectivity; objectivity; and political commentary in modes of filmmaking. Relating the art of a private director to a public medium; Clodagh J. Brooks work is an important contribution to our understanding of film.
