Movies for Architects
I recently watched The Brutalist, and it was fucking stupid. Regardless, it is not a movie about architecture, or buildings at all and I found that frustrating considering how it was advertised.
Here is a list of movies that I believe truly understand the importance of buildings and space, and visually demonstrate architecture in beautiful ways.
Please tell me more architectural movies. The criteria is not a famous building being present in the movie, or the plot having something to do with an architect, but rather, movies that that depict architecture in a novel or interesting way.
