Architecton
An extraordinary journey through the material that makes up our habitat: concrete and its ancestor, stone. Victor Kossakovsky raises a fundamental question: how do we inhabit the world of tomorrow?
Critics Sentiment
De Lucchi talks with Kossakovsky about architectural permanence
Bulldozers pick through bombed Ukrainian housing complex fragments
The film's lowest point during the Ukrainian bombing footage rises significantly when the epilogue conversation finally provides context and meaning to the abstract imagery.
Architecton divides critics between those who appreciate its visual poetry and those who find it pretentious and repetitive. The film struggles with pacing and clarity through most of its runtime, with many reviewers noting beautiful cinematography undermined by monotonous sequences and lack of context. The epilogue conversation provides much-needed meaning but comes too late to fully redeem the abstract approach for many viewers.
