Unfinished Business: Screening the Italian Mafia in the New Millennium

‘Unfinished Business is a thorough, well-researched, and well-executed study… Renga’s insightful and scrupulous analyses will surely generate plenty of new debates in Mafia studies, as well as in film, cultural studies and number of other disciplines.’

Lara Santoro, Journal of Modern Italian Studies , February 2015

‘There’s no doubt that Renga’s volume is essential reading for scholars of both Mafia films and Italian cinema more widely.’

Pasquale Iannone, University of Toronto Quarterly vol 84:03:2015

‘Renga’s film choices are spot-on, and offer a wide variety of Mafia themed films from the new millennium... It is refreshing to find a scholar so conscious of film, gender, and gender theory.

Ryan Calabretta-Sajder, Italica vol 92:04:2015

“Renga has already firmly established herself as a leading expert on Italian Mafia film narratives and documentaries with the foundational Mafia Movies: A Reader.  Her latest, Unfinished Business is an innovative, expertly conceived and executed study that will surely generate new debates in various fields of study.”

Robin Pickering-Iazzi, Professor, Department of French, Italian, and Comparative Literature, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee

“Written in a lively and engaging tone, this provocative and highly original work makes an important contribution to Italian film studies.”
