Guerra's extraordinary oeuvre, which includes the masterpieces \u003ci\u003eL'avventura \u003c\/i\u003e(1960), \u003ci\u003eLa notte \u003c\/i\u003e(1961), \u003ci\u003eL'eclisse \u003c\/i\u003e(1962)\u003ci\u003e, Red Desert\u003c\/i\u003e (1964), \u003ci\u003eBlow-Up \u003c\/i\u003e(1966), \u003ci\u003eAmarcord \u003c\/i\u003e(1973), \u003ci\u003eNostalghia \u003c\/i\u003e(1983), and \u003ci\u003eEternity and a Day\u003c\/i\u003e (1998), is beyond compare in the history of screenwriting. Even though Guerra's unique voice and lyricism defined the vanguard of arthouse cinema for decades, this book is the first to be dedicated to his matchless contribution to film. As such, \u003ci\u003eThe Works of Tonino Guerra \u003c\/i\u003eis a major contribution to the study and histories of European cinema, screenwriting, and postwar Italian culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters navigates Guerra's wide-ranging career in cinema, from his breakout films with Michelangelo Antonioni and their subsequent excursions to England and America, to his collaborations with other European masters including Andrei Tarkovsky, Federico Fellini, and Theo Angelopoulos. Although the focus is on Guerra's work as a screenwriter, many of the essays situate Guerra's films within his practice across artistic disciplines, including his acclaimed poetry, novels, and visual art. Further, \u003ci\u003eThe Works of Tonino Guerra \u003c\/i\u003eexamines a number of Guerra's unproduced-and unstudied-scenarios, in addition to his late intercultural collaborations with global filmmakers including Nacer Khemir (Tunisia) and Migel Littin (Chile).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGeoffrey Lokke\u003c\/b\u003e is a Ph.D. candidate in theatre and performance at Columbia University, USA.
