It is still true today that the cinema must face and deal with the sacred myth that the ‘Great War’ has become, a myth created through the political manipulation of history, through literature and refined memorials, through public expressions of mourning, ceremonies, and cenotaphs. The analysis of the films will not be based on an evaluation of their artistic, aesthetic and expressive qualities but will rather focus on firmly placing the work in its political, historical and cultural context, with references to the historiography of the most relevant themes dealt with in the film.
