Author: maurizio toni (tekton) from Italy

A book entitled "I Greci al cinema"(="The Greeks on the screen. From peplum-movie to computer graphics")has recently been published by the Faculty of Preservation of Cultural Heritage, Bologna University, Italy. Professors in Classics, Historians, but also filmmakers joined their efforts with the purpose of tracing an historical outline of the movies dedicated to Greek history and mythology from "The fall of Troy" by Giovanni Pastrone (1911) until today. Troy by Wolfgang Petersen is very well considered by these scholars.Vito Zagarrio (III University of Rome) advises "to enjoy the glamorous special effects, to enter the new digital universe that allows any journey across the time" and to "enjoy the magnificent duels, especially the one between Hector and Achilles". The Historian of Antiquity Francesco Lucrezi (University of Salerno)is particularly interested in the character of the "self-conscious, rebel, invincible Achilles", with special regard to his representation in "the excellent movie Troy". I agree with these statements. Troy is a fine work, with good acting and a magnificent production design (very close to literary sources and archaeological evidence). I think it is worth watching.
