Description: "Volume two brings to the fore Zavattini's ever evolving internal dialogue between diary writer, screenwriter, narrative writer, and political activist since 1944. Bringing together both letters previously published in Italian and hitherto uncollected ones, this volume reveals Zavattini's relationship to producers (Guarini and Ponti), filmmakers (Rossellini, De Santis, Antonioni, De Sica, Pasolini, Blasetti, Grifi, and Paul Strand) to writers (including Vittorini, Attilio Bertolucci, Umberto Saba, Salvatore Quasimodo), film critics, and international filmmakers. Also documented is Bazin's relationship with Zavattini, with the inclusion of an exchange of sixteen letters between the two. The critical and contextual study which introduces this volume explicates underlying logic of Zavattini's many interventions in disparate fields, documented by the translation of primary sources."--
