quotes 

"Mr Ferrero is a unique artist in his sensitivity to the great details of storytelling. He has a wonderful and new point of view in his work"
David LaChapelle
 

"I watched Beautiful Things right away and VERY much liked it. The combination of sophisticated music and fantastic cinematography was wonderful”
Stefan Sagmeister
 

"Giorgio's particular talent on display here is a kind of synesthesia, making music into images rather than using music to enhance images”
Stephanie Zacharek (Time Magazine)
 

"A galvanizing soundtrack. Like any good symphonist, Ferrero knows the power of silence”
David Bordwell (Prof. Emeritus of Film Studies)
 

"The editing of the film is impressive, as the sequences overlap at some points, mirroring the way that music is often brought in early to transition scenes in movies."
Kaleem Aftab (The independent, Cineuropa)
 

“The beauty of impermanence. An exciting and revealing experience.”
La Domenica – Il Sole 24 Ore
 

“This work in unparalleled. It’s a great surprise. Stunning pictures.”
Marco Tullio Giordana
 

“I have remained rather impressed. Astonishing job.”
Marco Müller
 

“Beautiful Things is a film-symphony, a palimpsest both of the 9th century and the contemporary world in a globalising observation.”
Bruno Roberti – Il Manifesto
 

“La meraviglia del prendersi cura degli altri è tradotta in un’immagine filmica memorabile ed empatica.”
Hollywood Reporter Italia
 

“Finally the Italian nonfiction cinema is free from the dross of the cinema of the real. Stylistically inventive and surprising.”
Adriano Aprà
