The cliché that the seventh art is a way to travel without leaving your seat was born the moment cinema was invented. The seat, which later became the home sofa, now invites us to truly, physically, travel across the vast stage that is the world, especially in these times of globalization.
There are thousands of cinetourists or spectators turned travelers of places that have been settings for films, TV series, or documentaries, a trend that continues to rise with the growth of social networks. The entire planet is an open film set accessible to both die-hard fans and curious visitors, and this book serves as a map of 40 films and series that have spurred—and will continue to spur—millions of visits to beautiful (yet increasingly less remote) locations.
All the film locations in this book meet the requirement of being celluloid icons: from Monument Valley, where John Ford filmed Stagecoach, to the city of Hobbiton that Peter Jackson had built in New Zealand for Frodo Baggins' home in The Lord of the Rings, passing by the views of Manhattan, the true protagonists of Woody Allen's eponymous film, the terrifying Dakota Building on New York's 72nd Street immortalized by Polanski in Rosemary's Baby, or the dramatic Odessa Steps from Battleship Potemkin.
Every page of this book can be a paradise for cinephiles seeking to lose themselves in the deserts where adventures unfolded in Lawrence of Arabia, Indiana Jones, or Star Wars; stroll through the Parisian streets once walked by Amélie; visit the Forbidden City, home to the last emperor; and climb the 68 steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, just like Rocky Balboa.
Beaches, jungles, snowy peaks, cities, buildings… everything that takes us on an infinite journey to the settings of the films and series that have shaped our lives.
