- Summary:
- "[Cherchi Usai] has drawn with clinical precision (and a welcome touch of irony) the picture of a worldwide crisis that commands our unconditional concern. His portrait of a culture ignoring the loss of its own image is a devastating moral tale, the recognition that there is something very wrong with the way we are taught to disregard the art of seeing as something ephemeral and negligible."--Martin Scorsese
