A few days ago I saw the new Clint Eastwood movie Gran Torino which is ably reviewed by our own Peter Suderman here. Lots of critics have charged the movie, and Eastwood’s directorial efforts generally, with a kind of bleak nihilism that finds hope only in the heroic but feckless struggle against the meaninglessness of life. Whether that holds true for Eastwood’s previous movies is a matter for another post (and another blogger) but with respect to Gran Torino it seems to miss the mark.
Travel with us through a land of extraordinary charm, art and history, nature and culture, sport and tradition. In the province of Turin's discovery never ends, the first capital of Italy to the Alps of the Olympics, from the hills of Canavese to the peaks of the Gran Paradiso.
