Place, Setting, Perspective: Narrative Space in Nanni Moretti's Films

Eleanor Andrews, 2014

Overview

This study delves into the films of Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti, focusing on the crucial role of narrative space. It moves beyond purely aesthetic or narrative considerations to explore the social, political, and cultural dimensions of cinematic environments. The analysis is grounded in Moretti's oeuvre, which is deeply intertwined with socio-political commentary. The book defines narrative space through the concepts of Place (physical aspects like cityscapes and interiors), Setting (genre conventions in melodrama, detective stories, etc.), and Perspective (the camera's viewpoint reflecting Moretti's philosophy).
