It acknowledges the overlap between quality cinema and arthouse/auteur cinema while emphasizing the importance of examining Italian cinema in relation to other European national cinemas. Through a collection of essays, it aims to broaden the discourse surrounding the challenges faced by Italian cinema and its representation of Italian culture and values on an international stage.
