Rock & Cinema explores–from Elvis Presley’s rock and roll to the present day–the successful encounters between music and cinema that have given rise to works that have become milestones of contemporary culture.
Much has been written about the mutual influence between rock and the big screen, but little attention has been paid to the impact that certain films and their soundtracks have had on the world of music and on the artists themselves.
There are numerous cases of films that have become true symbols for entire movements or subcultures. Cinema has represented a natural step for many rock stars, and has also become a precious opportunity for underground bands to experiment with new expressive languages.
The main aim of this book is to observe the relationship between rock and cinema from a new perspective: the musical one. It is a journey that traces the history of rock on the big screen, in a passionate project curated down to the smallest detail.
