Cinema, marxismo e teoria critica. Dalla dialettica allo svelamento del reale

This article investigates cinema's revolutionary potential within Marxist and critical theory frameworks, asking whether film can transcend ideological reproduction to become a radical tool for unveiling capitalism's hidden structures. Drawing on Benjamin, Kracauer, Adorno, and Marcuse, it argues that cinema's unique capacity for dialectical montage and "optical unconscious" enables a form of critical revelation irreducible to mere propaganda.
