	Nuovo cinema Paradiso (1989) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)

		Global cinema is often considered synonymous with American cinema, but this is misleading, as it in no way reflects the artistic and cultural diversity of American films; global cinema is rather the product of a particular type of film, emanating from a particular regional industry (Hollywood) and system of production.
		In the decades after the Second World War, it was the "new" cinema of Italy, France and Germany that burst upon the global scene, breaking through the vise of Hollywood.
		National cinema is rather defined by its quality as an authentic reflection of a country's tradition, society, history and culture, in all its diversity and richness.

		Negli stessi anni in Sudamerica si sviluppavano l'esperienza del Cinema Novo e l'incredibile impresa di A.Solanas and O.Getino di fare un documentario sulle barbarie del neocolonialismo economico e culturale, esperienze che aprono la strada ad un cinema dove "l'atto rivoluzionario é il prodotto di un'azione che diverrà riflessione nel corso della lotta"(G.

		The sad, bitter Umberto D. (1952), the touching story of a poor old man with his little dog, who life forces to beg for alms against his dignity in the loneliness of the new society, is perhaps De Sica's masterpiece and one of the most important works in Italian cinema.
