synopsis Alberto is a journalist and film critic with a passion for the “geography of cinema”. Angelina is a young foreign photographer who moved to Rome a few years ago. Alberto has finally decided to dedicate himself to a new project: writing a book – an essay somewhere between tourist guide and historiographical reconstruction – with the aim of pointing out all, or almost all, of Rome’s locations for famous film sequences. He therefore revisits some of those sets, while Angelina records, through her photo camera, all Alberto’s investigations and interviews. “It is thanks to the films that have been shot here, thanks to their ‘memory’, that Rome goes from being ancient to modern and alive. Really thanks to those film makers that let themselves become involved in this journey. They are the guarantors of memory and the custodians of its modernity.” (Francesco Matera)
Rome open road. To special cinephile commemorations, on-the-road diaries, common-place locations and saturnine, but beautiful, houses, Cinecittà fever, Capitoline Hill, days and nights extending in front of you… To Furio and Mario, whom we feel present. VOI SIETE QUI by Francesco Matera with Alberto ‘Virgilio’ Crespi and Angelina ‘Beatrice’ Chavez (co-ordination by Alessandro Boschi) is a revealing, fun and rigorous mapping of 60 years of cinema in… its own city: it goes through dialogues about changes to the city and the suburbs, through signs and senses (Scarpello gives an expert prologue-epilogue, a very acute Monicelli) as well as pure souvenirs, with film scenes being re-explored today by directors and actors and even by a piano. Beautiful, useful, leaves a lasting impression. Thanks to Trovajoli, Lizzani, Rotunno, Scola, Montaldo, Proietti, Amelio, Verdone, Ozpetek, Moretti, Virzì and to the ever younger Monicelli.
