dear diary

"Sì, la cosa che mi piace più di tutte è vedere le case.. vedere i quartieri.. Però non mi piace vedere le case solo dall'esterno.. ogni tanto mi piace vedere anche come sono fatte dentro."


Like Nanni Moretti, the writer, director, and actor of the 1993 Italian movie, Caro Diario (Dear Diary), I like looking at houses, even before I started studying architecture. When I look at certain houses I like to imagine how life is going on in there.

I first heard the name Nanni Moretti five years ago, but I only got interested couple of days ago when i saw this movie was on some lists of 10 best italian movies or some sort and I read somewhere people saying that he is the italian version of Woody Allen. It might be too much though comparing someone with the ever great Woody, but I have to say that I enjoyed this film so much, maybe in the same way I enjoy Woody's. It's witty, it's awkward, with clever lines I could relate to here and there. Within the first few minutes I knew I liked this guy already. I enjoyed it that much I've watched the first part three times! And most likely I would also re-watch the other two parts again.
