?The choice of films is excellent, and the accompanying exercises are all valid and well constructed. Even the grammar exercises are appealing.??Brian O?Connor, Boston College
"A compact, well-conceived college text, which aims in a most original and innovative way to build vocabulary, promote conversation practice, and review grammar through the viewing and study of Italian films. . . . Italian through Film successfully accomplishes its goals of enhancing vocabulary, teaching culture and reviewing grammar through film. Instructors and students alike will appreciate the wealth of learning possibilities packed into this well structured, inventive, and accessible text."?NECTFL Review
"The selection of films is excellent, and the accompanying activities are wide-ranging in difficulty and diversity. Instructors can choose films and exercises according to the age, interests, and ability of their classes. Italian through Film should be a valuable supplement to almost any Italian course."?Michael Warden, The Canadian Modern Language Review
"The prospect of designing an Italian language course devoted to 'classic' Italian film is now more exciting than daunting. Professors Borra and Pausini's text covers the essentials of language learning while granting the instructor freedom in tailoring such a course to his of her own interests. In sum, everyone will be able to say much more about these treasures of Italian film than before. Thank you to Borra and Pausini!"?Susan Joseph, Rocky Mountain Review
