This course explores the representation of criminality in Italian cinema through genres such as noir, thriller, and 'cop movies' from the postwar period to the present. It examines the collusion between crime, politics, and society, the homegrown Italian terrorism of the 1970s, and post-millennial representations of the connections between mafia and other criminal activities.
