In Luchino Visconti and the Fabric of Cinema , Joe McElhaney situates Visconti's films as privileged and deeply expressive instances of a trope that McElhaney identifies as the cinema of fabric: a reoccurrence in film in which textiles-clothing, curtains, tablecloths, bedsheets-determine the filming process.
An Italian neorealist, Visconti emerges out of a movement immediately following WWII wherein fabric assumes crucial functions, yet Visconti's use.
