This course will be a study of the mafia, and, by extension, of Italy’s “dark heart,” in its historical, social, economic, cultural, and political dimensions. By looking at a wide range of films on the mafia, from documentary to comedy, the course will also be an opportunity for considering what are the possibilities and the limits, inherent to cinema, to represent cultural and social realities, but also to act upon them.
