italian cinema

Thanks to Jcordova888 for the idea. This would be a topic directed to italian and not italian users but in different ways: To Not italian users: what opinion do you have about the "old" italian cinema? (Well, I hope you know only the old one, cause the new one shows a poor figure of our country, saving rare cases) For the old italian cinema I mean some directors as Visconti, Rossellini, Leone, Fellini, Risi, Vittorio De Sica (almost all worked in a b/w cinema :P ); and some actors as Anna Magnani, Vittorio Gassman, Marcello Mastroianni. Do you know them? I'm curious to know how our claimed cinema is seen abroad. To italian users: why the italian cinema has changed so much, declining in such a poor quality? I mean stories yes but also technique and people skill. Is it audience's fault? Do you regret direcotrs and actors I mentioned?
