Al cinema con l’architetto – vol. III

This is the third volume in the series Al cinema con l’architetto. Film visti e commentati da Ghisi Grütter,. I wanted to develop the updates – more or less annual – to various reviews, creating a kind of ‘box set’ which also contained comments from different academics. In this third volume I have added a foreword by Grazia Attili, Emeritus Professor of Social Psychology at La Sapienza University, Rome, and an afterword by Donatella Barazzetti, Professor of Sociology at the University of Calabria.

My interest in film goes back to the 60s and 70s, when there were few sources of visual information and our knowledge of cities was filtered by the cinema, becoming the almost exclusive prerogative of cinéphiles. At that time I realised that the more I saw of the city, the more I was interested in film. It is only recently – thanks to the interaction made possible by the internet – that I’ve started writing my comments on a few websites. The possibility of commenting as an audience member encouraged me to share reflections, thoughts and impressions of films, as I was seeing them. In this latest book I’ve brought together reviews of the films I’ve seen since October 2017. The choice of films presented here is therefore far from being exhaustive, and mainly reflects my own tastes.
