"The memory of an unreachable woman has haunted many male artists Goethe with Lotte, Poe with Annabel Lee, Dante with Beatrice, Petrarch with Laura - all succumbed to the spell of a female image and dedicated a good part of their work to conjuring it obsessively. Spanish film-maker José Luis Gueríns latest work IN THE CITY OF SYLVIA makes play with this long tradition in a skilfully orchestrated ode to longing, woman and the city, but above all to the art of looking and cinema itself."
