Synopsis

« Ruskin se rend sur les lieux traversés par l’œuvre de John Ruskin : Londres, les Alpes, et, par-dessus tout, Venise, où l’attention portée par la caméra aux constructions et à l’interaction entre l’architecture et l’eau fait écho à l’analyse descriptive que fait l’auteur des « pierres » de la ville. C’est avec force que le bruit des pages qui se tournent et l’image d’un livre de Ruskin, Unto This Last, nous rappellent que les perceptions d’un poète et dans ce cas son économie politique, sont préservées et ravivées par l’acte de lecture et d’écriture. » P. Adams Sitney, Film Comment

Ruskin visits the sites of John Ruskin’s work: London, the Alps and, above all, Venice, where the camera’s attention to masonry and the interaction of architecture and water mimics the author’s descriptive analysis of the ‘stones’ of the city. The sound of pages turning and the image of a book, Ruskin’s Unto This Last, forcibly reminds us that a poet’s perceptions and in this case his political economy, are preserved and reawakened through acts of reading and writing.” P. Adams Sitney, Film Comment
