Leave your thoughts about La Sapienza.
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsThis recalls Manoel de Oliveira and Eric Rohmer in its poker-faced style, deliberately archaic storytelling, and magisterial epiphanies. |
| GrantlandWesley MorrisThis kind of formalism needs to do more than walk through classical wonders. It should want to create cinema that can stand near or beside them. This movie defensively consecrates what's already there. You don't need a film to do that. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Charles MudedeIf architecture aspires to the condition of music, the acting in La Sapienza aspires to the condition of architecture. You will love the ending of this very original and elegant and arty work. |
| Film Comment MagazineNicole ArmourWhile Green's film is dense with historical fact and theory, it's not averse to plumbing life's mysteries. Suffused with warmth, it expresses a potent admiration for human striving and accomplishment. |
| User ReviewJoshua GVisually, this is one of the most stunning and beautiful films of all time. Although the film is very light on plot, the film is full of intelligent, and interesting dialogue, and the film is, overall, one of the best films of 2015 so far. |
| User ReviewDaniel PNumerous ways this movie engaged me and kept me learning. Love it. |
| User ReviewPeter FA pretty, observational, and nebulously supernatural look at European architecture and it's effect on culture and humanity. While it's story is slight, it finds it's thematic density through it's philosophical musings, and character interactions. Eugène Green proves to also be a very skilled marksmen with his camera work, capturing human expression as vividly as he does architecture. |
| User ReviewWalter MDespite any number of professional accolades, Alexandre(Fabrizio Rongione), an architect, finds his marriage with Alienor(Christelle Prot Landman) in rocky shape. So, they travel to a lake in Switzerland to spend some quality time together, trying to recapture some of the old magic. What they find instead is siblings Goffredo(Ludovico Succio) and Lavinia(Arianna Nastro). And then Alienor surprises her husband by volunteering to stay in town to look after the ailing Lavinia while Goffredo continues his architecture studies in Turin with Alexandre. "La Sapienza" gets off to a rough start, as the movie assumes that Alexandre's sour mood is solely from his atheism, not something less existential, like say, severe constipation. Thankfully, the movie eventually recovers, allowing for an occasionally heady exploration of art, history, architecture, romance and most importantly sideburns. At the same time, the tone tends towards the deep end of the pretentiousness spectrum, sometimes unnecessarily so. And I'm still not exactly sure what this whole sapience thing was about but then I guess that's what Google is for. |
| User ReviewTiago CCom planos e ângulos bastante simétricos, o filme fala sobre um arquiteto ateu e que valoriza o caminho da razão. Até que ele e sua esposa encontram um jovem aspirante à arquitetura que mostra para ele um jeito mais emocional e espiritual de enxergar o mundo. O filme inteiro traça paralelos entre o sagrado e o racional, seja contando a história de dois arquitetos famosos ou colocando personagens com pensamentos diferentes em diálogos profundos. O que pode ser desagradável é o fato de o garoto de 18 anos ter tanto conhecimento sobre a vida, mas se o espectador levar para o lado da metáfora, não terá problemas com isso. |
| User ReviewMarc LAnother turgid film about a successful professional who has severe ennui. If it were not for the stunning cinematography of the Borromini chapels and glorious Musial performances, it would have been a complete waste of 1h 40m. |
