Beyond the Latin Lover: Marcello Mastroianni, Masculinity, and Italian Cinema by

Description: Beyond the Latin Lover by Jacqueline Reich A new perspective on Italian masculinity FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Marcello Mastroianni is considered by many to be the epitome of the Latin lover, the consummate symbol of Italian masculinity. In "Beyond the Latin Lover", Jacqueline Reich unmasks the reality behind the myth. In her investigation of many of Mastroiannis most famous characters in Italian cinema, she reveals that beneath the image of hyper-masculinity lies the figure of the "inetto", the Italian "schlemiel" at odds with and out of place in a rapidly changing world. Diverse roles throughout his career - the impotent man, the cuckold, and the unruly womans victim, among others - present an anti-hero caught in traditional but increasingly unsteady modes of masculinity. Far from being a study of just one Italian film star, however, Reichs work demonstrates that Mastroiannis inetto is a reflection of the unstable political, social, and sexual climate of post-war Italy and its constantly shifting gender roles. Notes A new perspective on Italian masculinity Author Biography Jacqueline Reich, Associate Professor of Italian and Comparative Literature at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, is co-editor of Re-viewing Fascism (IUP, 2002).
