Questions & Answers about Questo film è avvincente.
Why is there no article after the demonstrative in Questo film? Why not Questo il film?
In Italian, demonstratives like questo/questa/questi/queste already make the noun definite, so you normally do not add a definite article after them: questo film, not questo il film. You may see both together in special headline/announcer style (e.g., Questo il risultato...), but that’s not standard in everyday speech.
Can I also say Questo è un film avvincente? Is there any difference?
Yes, that’s correct. Both are natural, with a slight nuance:
Does avvincente change for gender and number?
