Francesco Pitassio: Transnational Neorealism

Film scholar Francesco Pitassio discusses the Italian films of a host of international directors—Max Neufeld, Géza von Radványi, René Clément, Wilhelm Dieterle, Michał Waszyński, and Joseph Losey—positioning neorealism as a transnational (and not just uniquely Italian) film style. Dr. Pitassio is associate professor of the History of Cinema at the University of Udine, Italy.
