PORTRAIT OF WOMENS: REFLECTIONS ABOUT THE ITALIAN CINEMA
We continue to consider a cinema of Italy in optics of gender researches. In this case standard cliches of “ideal” metaphors of the female are analyzed. Among them: subject of loneliness and victim, images of the seductive star and pure maiden, melancholy for beautiful mother and female courage. It is obvious that the format of article doesn’t allow even to list all considerable movies from the Italian cinema tradition. We dared to stop in several pictures in which a peculiar portrait gallery is presented, from our point of view, representatively.
Keywords: cinema history, Italian cinema, gender researches, standard cliches, metaphors of the female
