This thought-provoking, poetic documentary film shows what happens when 400,000 tourists with cameras, credit cards and cravings for "la dolce vita" start flocking each year to a town with just over 1,500 inhabitants in its historic center."The Genius of a Place" is filmed in Cortona, an ancient hill town in Tuscany, popularized as a tourist destination following the publication of international bestseller "Under the Tuscan Sun", by American author Frances Mayes. The book was later adapted to make a Hollywood film and also spawned the Tuscan Sun Festival, which has brought such celebrities as Robert Redford, Anthony Hopkins and Sting to Cortona, further heightening the fame of this previously quiet little town.Warning: this film will change the way you view tourism.
