Italian Content on Prime Video
While Netflix is producing and distributing a lot of their own Italian language content, Aamzon has focused on gobbling up the rights to dozens of Italian films and television series that are already out there. While we can hope that Amazon produces more Italian content in the future, for now the only Italian language based Prime original is the crime series Zero Zero Zero and their documentary on influencer Chiara Ferragni.
For now, we’ll have to enjoy some of the excellent selections available on the Prime Video platform, and it is quite a collection. There is an excellent mix of films from legendary directors and some exciting new productions … if you can find them. Unless you know the title of the film you are looking for, it is much more difficult to track down all of the films and series in Italian on Amazon than Netflix, but I’ve done the best I could. In fact, you would be surprised at how much leg work I’ve done for you here as it is surprising that a company as big as Amazon can’t provide a more organized search experience. Some other caveats …
- I’ve only included films available with a Prime subscription, not films that you have to rent/buy or those that are available with free trials to other services.
- Not all of these are winners. In some cases, the audio and visual quality of the film is not up to snuff. In other cases, the films or series don’t have the production values you might expect if you’re used to streaming on Netflix.
- Amazon is much more mobile with shows that they move on and off of Prime availability, so I’ll try to keep this up to date as well as I can, but no promises!
UP TO DATE AS OF JULY, 2020!
