"""In a very readable, long overdue, and engrossing study, Clodagh J. Brook sets herself a bold and arduous task, involving a massive and intellectual confrontation with 'Italy's religion in the new millennium, ' not as the final word on Roman Catholicism, but as a symptomatic flashpoint to explore the 'vast spectacle and power of the international Catholic faith' tied to uncertain questions of national identity and belief.""--Marcia Landy, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Department of French and Italian, University of Pittsburgh ""Elegantly written, Screening Religions in Italy not only explores Catholicism in cinema as a force of contestation, it also proposes new and original perspectives concerning local filmmaking, minority religions' new productions, new ways to access funding, and the filmmaking industry overall.""--Nicoletta Marino-Maio, Associate Professor of Italian and Film Studies, Italian Department Chair, Dickinson College"
