How does world cinema get across the idea of a city as a character in its own right? Read this short article at denofgeek.com for some viewpoints that will enhance your understanding of critical approaches to the topic.
Extract:
Depicting the city as a character is a universal trait, shared by any cinema that concentrates its population in urban centres. However, it is especially relevant as a character in non-first world cinemas, where the development of a city mirrors the development of a culture or community. The city brings into sharp focus the conflicts inherent between people, while also highlighting the often found extremes of living, fabulous wealth for some and abject poverty for others.
