ARCHITECTON

GERMANY, FRANCE | 2024 | COLOR | DCP | 98’ | ITALIAN, ENGLISH

A dazzling audiovisual symphony, destined to be experienced on the big screen and conditions of absolute cinematic awe, Kossakovsky's achievement is a worthy descendant of "Koyaanisqatsi". Through wondrous, monumental constructions, the film takes a journey that unites the deep past with the present as a meditation on man's relationship with nature, the indelible imprint of the individual on his environment, and humanity's capacity for both the most jaw-dropping achievement and the greatest catastrophe. Highly spectacular, this admirable documentary is an awe-inspiring poem of images and associations.
