Umberto Eco: A Library of the World Ratings & Reviews
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
As we wander through the labyrinth we are drawn further and further into its trap, made ever more keenly aware of our own hunger for knowledge, for understanding.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Provocative and captivating, but not thorough enough.
Slant Magazine
William Repass
The film becomes a timely epistemological rumination on the difference between knowledge and information, the relationship between memory and technology.
Spectrum Culture
Pat Padua
This swooning homage to printed matter is for the most part razor sharp, and if it convinces anyone that physical media is crucial for civilization, then all the better.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
Exploring fictional worlds with Eco for a guide remains a diverting and often enlightening pursuit.
In Review Online
Zach Lewis
Although the documentary shies away from a paint-by-numbers talking head format, the filmmaking instincts here are still all-too-familiar. That said, Eco's words are indeed easy to follow, and his various lectures... are entrancing.
POV Magazine
Pat Mullen
The cinematography by Andrea Zambelli and Andrea Zanoli captures the libraries lovingly. One can practically smell the wonderful mustiness of the old books.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
Features 500-year-old volumes that look new, older books that look old, ancient drawings, charts, curiosities, magic spells, divination, elaborate jokes, the complete Charlie Brown, one featuring a glass receptacle on the spine holding dog's testicles.
