| Σύνοψη: | This study covers in depth twelve French and Italian films from Alain Resnais's documentary Night and Fog (1956) through Roberto Benigni's Oscar-winning Life Is Beautiful (1998), and on to briefer treatments of films produced from 1998 to 2006. The focus is equally divided between film analysis and the analysis of public reception. Lichtner considers cinema a “vector of memory” for popular and institutional culture (p. 8), but emphasizes the need to explore “inaccuracies” that contemporary events imparted to the films' production and reception (p. 9). The goal is to show how “the understanding of the Shoah in France and Italy has changed over time,” and how films on the Shoah reflect national identities (p. 11). |
