INTIMACY IN EXTREMIS: HORROR CINEMA AND THE OTHER SIDE OF LOVE

AMORE ISSUE, Essays, Film

Horror is a cinematic language of extremes, and the genre that most effectively mines the collective unconscious. It is no wonder that love and relationships, the causes of many of our most extreme emotions, so effectively dovetail with a form that might seem worlds apart from romance.

FROM GLITZ TO SYNTHS: THE EVOLUTION OF ITALIAN DISCO IN THE 70S, 80S AND BEYOND WITH DISCO SAVONI

AMORE ISSUE, Culture

For many, the phrase Italo screams 80s. Yet, before becoming the globally exported phenomenon many remember it as today, the roots lie in Italian disco. A sensuous, sentimental, lavish thing that dominated the mainstream pop culture of Italy, occupying prime time slots on RAI 1, the national broadcaster.
