Movies are always realized in a definite environment.

This environment may be a real place or a scene designed for a SPECIFIC movie only.

The place, space, time and people are the main elements which have to be defined in a cinema product.

There are movies about cities just like; Roma (Fellini, )

ROMA, the Federico Fellini-directed benchmark of the Italian New Wave, explores the city of Rome from several different perspectives, giving it a mystical life of its own that hangs in the balance between its rich history and its modern identity. With no real chronology. Typical of Fellini, with the carnival comes a critique--and ROMA tears through the city's political and religious history, critising the Catholic church and various faces of Italian government from Renaissance times through Mussolini's period and on into the 1960s. While the camera travel over Rome's art and architecture and is clearly a gift to the Eternal City, most of the sets in the film are constructed, reinforcing Fellini's narrative imagination and keeping viewers caught in a perpetual contradiction between reality and fantasy, history and the present, fact and fiction.

Office Space

Peter Gibbons is a noisy office like many others, and he hates his routine life. One day, the occupational therapist who was hypnotising him keels over dead, leaving him with a permanantly altered attitude. Asked to come in on weekends, he responds by coming in only when he wants to, playing games on his computer and moving furniture to give himself a better view. But instead of firing him, the company takes this oddness as evidence of his managerial potential. 1999
