{"product_id":"science-fiction-italian-style-matt-blake-9781799284079","title":"Science Fiction Italian Style: Italian science fiction films from 1958-2000","description":"Italy is not a country generally known for its science fiction cinema. Over the years, however, a number of films belonging to the genre have been made and - while there might not be a single, defining science fiction 'movement' as such - they make for a curious, compellingly disparate whole. From critically acclaimed futuristic satires to cheapjack exploitation films featuring deadly extra-terrestrials; from counterculture polemics set in an imminent dystopia to post-apocalyptic action movies populated by Mohican-sporting thugs. There might be many different types of films, but they all deal with shared themes and concerns. And that's not even mentioning the giant chickens and flesh-eating fish. This is the first English language book to deal comprehensively with the subject. Covering all Italian science fiction films made between 1958 and 2000 in detail - as well as including an overview of productions made in subsequent years - it examines a range of interconnected sub-genres, looking into how recurrent narratives came about, evolved and eventually faded. So... zip up your space suit, settle back in your anti-gravity seating device... and welcome to the wild, wild world of Science Fiction, Italian Style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matt Blake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1799284077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781799284079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.60d","brand":"Matt Blake","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978690593023,"sku":"9781799284079","price":22.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26c536fd-9a30-4deb-8db9-bb47c852e3ff.jpg?v=1683242647","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/science-fiction-italian-style-matt-blake-9781799284079","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
