Beyond Wiseguys: ITALIAN AMERICANS & THE MOVIES

2008

Category: Uncategorized
  • Description

Description

Executive produced by John Turturro, BEYOND WISEGUYS: ITALIAN AMERICANS & THE MOVIES utilizes one-on-one interviews with contemporary filmmakers like John Turturro, Ben Gazzara, Susan Sarandon, Marisa Tomei, Chazz Palminteri, Isabella Rossellini, David Chase, and many others to spotlight how on-screen ethnic stereotypes affect the creative work of the film artists themselves. Combining those interviews with classic and contemporary film clips (My Cousin Vinny, The Godfather, The Sopranos, the original Scarface, etc.), BEYOND WISEGUYS dissects the creation and dissemination of stereotypes and pop culture myths about Italian American heritage, but ultimately provides insight into how Italian-American filmmakers use their heritage creatively to positively impact the image of Italian Americans.
