Dear All,
I have selected three films for study:
The Great Beauty/La grande bellezza (2013), directed by Paolo Sorrentino (1970 - ) (in the city of Rome)
Wings of Desire/Der Himmel über Berlin (1988), directed by Wim Wenders (in the city of Berlin). It is to be paired by Berlin Babylon (2001/2018), a documentary directed by Hubertus Siegert (not to be confused by Netflix's Babylon Berlin). The difference is about the Wall....
Director Jia Zhangke (1970 - ): everything about the ruins and the massive "territorial transformations" that have fuelled the progressive movement of [Modern] Architecture.
Here are the short entries. I encourage you to watch the film in their entirety during the break.
