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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.69 x 7.44 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 18, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52710635340083,"sku":"9781799284079","price":37.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Z3pKVGxwaWpiVmZ1bmdpODdRYjJNQT09.webp?v=1763496115","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/science-fiction-italian-style-italian-science-fiction-films-from-1958-2000-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
