Demoni e Dei. Dio, il Diavolo, la religione nel cinema horror americano

by Curti Roberto

  • Used
Torino: Lindau, 2009. Torino, 2009; br., pp. 514, cm 14x21. (Saggi). "Demoni e dei" ripercorre la storia del cinema horror made in USA dagli albori del sonoro ai giorni nostri secondo la chiave di lettura dell'evoluzione della sensibilità religiosa americana, dall'eredità puritana fino alla recente esplosione di credi e confessioni. Forte della conoscenza della filmografia e della cultura statunitense, Roberto Curti analizza e discute i classici della Universal, parabole morali dove il mostro (la creatura di Frankenstein, il vampiro, la mummia, l'uomo lupo) incarna un male destinato a essere sconfitto prima dei titoli di coda; gli horror satanici degli anni '60 e '70 ("Rosemary's Baby", "L'esorcista", la trilogia di "Il presagio"), che rispecchiano la crisi di valori in atto e l'emergere di nuove forme di spiritualità; il ritorno in auge della destra cristiana negli anni '80 durante la presidenza Reagan; la visione pessimistica di George Romero e l'anticlericalismo di John Carpenter; l'ossessione religiosa che diventa follia in lavori come "Cape Fear" (1991, di Martin Scorsese) e "Severi" (1995, di David Fincher); il ritorno alla ribalta dei timori apocalittici all'avvicinarsi dell'anno 2000; e infine il rapporto tra religione e horror dopo l'11 settembre, con pellicole di chiara impronta teocon come "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" (2005) e "I segni del male" (2007) e l'affiorare di nuovi temi e interessi nelle opere di registi come M. Night Shyamalan ("Il sesto senso", "The Villane", "E venne il giorno").
