The city – a place where dream meets reality. A place which awakens old memories, inspires new hopes and makes the impossible seem possible. A place where generations and cultures mingle to create new ways of life; a place where you can be alone even in the middle of a crowd; a place where the night is as lively as the day; a place that speaks hundreds of languages without ever needing a dictionary. The city – a place of contradictions, both beautiful and bewildering. A place where space and time are more restricted than anywhere else.
We’ve all seen them in the movies: romantic scenes of a happy couple strolling hand in hand along the rainy Parisian boulevards, or the snowy streets of New York as a roast chestnut vendor cheerfully wishes passers-by a happy Christmas. Countless films have made cities such as Paris, London, Rome, New York and St. Petersburg as familiar to us as our own homes: classics like Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Amélie and Annie Hall all pay homage to the magic of the metropolis.
This cinematic love affair with cities shapes our own fascination: city life seems exciting, lively, inspiring, chaotic and romantic all at the same time. It was Simone de Beauvoir who said, ‘There is something in the New York air that makes sleep useless.’ And whether you’re enjoying a drink at the cosy bar around the corner or making an impromptu trip to the cinema or theatre, the city offers infinite possibilities for round-the-clock entertainment. The city is a microcosm of human culture and achievement, and there’s no
better place from which to observe the zeitgeist.
