    Italian cinema has a very important place in my heart. It is second to none in my opinion. My favourite director is Antonioni. Thank you for the video

    Overall, even accounting for its relative decline since the 1980s, Italian cinema is unmatched in its depth, ambition, diversity, innovation, originality. I could watch Italian movies from different ages for days without ever getting bored.
    Personal picks: Antonioni, one of the greatest artists ever; Sergio Leone, the Homer of our times, and Elio Petri, whose "neurology" trilogy is amongst the most original things there are. But the list could go on and on and on.
    One missing name from the clip - which is very well made btw - is Marco Ferrari, who knew how to shock with contents and not with easy tricks. His "La Grand Bouffe" hits as hard as a punch in the stomach.

    One of my favourite italian films of all times that is missing from this list is we all loved each other so much by ettore scola, a great film with meta cinema elements, an in depth look at italy from the post war era to the 70s and a great story that will get you hooked from the first scene, definitely a good movie for every cinephile who wants to experience italian cinema and also it could be a great entry point for someone who hasn't seen many italian movies

    Great video! I've been watching a lot of Italian films recently, some might say I'm an addict, especially to the films made from the 40s through the 70s, and it is my favorite national cinema besides my own (USA). Your video does a great job at giving people an overview of Italian cinema, keeping it easy to understand, while recommending some of the country's best. Your France video does a great job of this too. Looking forward to binging your channel more

    If I'm allowed to suggest, I think dogman is a masterpiece of modern Italian cinema, an hidden pearl with an enormous leading actor

  • @ganondorfdragmire2818

    I apologize if I chime in to bother, but in the end 70s early 80 there were two major kind of films that were extremely enjoyed by italians and outside ( mostly europe west and east ): the Fantozzi series and Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies.
    Yes I know, things for plebeians, but worth a mention.

    • @kubricklynch
      @kubricklynch  년 전

      I've seen a couple Spencer/Hill movies and I did mention them in my video on spaghetti westerns. I should check out more from them though.

      @@kubricklynch BH-TH films were mostly kid - family oriented, but with underling thematics that were quite dark and gritty. An adult would understand them, but not a kid he would stop at the cartoonish fistfights and funny costumes. Fantozzi is another super funny ( the first two, then it became mainstream and soulless like nowadays productions ) and ruthless critique to all corporate and wagecuck mentality that was spreading in italy in the 70s 80s. I found out later it was deeply enjoyed in the communist block.
      When you say the 80s were unkind to italian movies I suggest you to go deep the rabbit hole of BH-TH movies ( their first buddy movie is a western and quite serious and gritty ) and the Paolo Villaggio works ( he is the writer/actor of Fantozzi, but he did other stuff too ).
      That was 80s Italy and it was a bit plebeian, but not stupid.
      ( yes theres plenty of trash in 80s italy, but I'd save those mentioned )
      I will watch your video about spaghetti western in the meantime.
      Thanks for answering me

    Great video overall, I'll allow myself to make just few marginal consideration:
    1- there were more political movies in the 70s (you rightfully showed Gian Maria Volonté as one of those transitioning from western to other genres)
    2- from 70s through the 80s the italian b-movies had a lot of influence (i mean A LOT)
    Btw, i very much enjoy your guides and find every time some hidden gems
