City of Tomorrow

About This Movie

City of Tomorrow dives deep into Chandigarh, a city crafted from Le Corbusier's ambitious visions. The documentary is more reflective and meditative than one might expect, with a focus on the stark yet compelling architecture that embodies his principles of repetition and order. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the viewer to really soak in the unique blend of aesthetics and functionality. It doesn't just showcase buildings; it probes into the underlying symbolism of urban planning. There’s something almost haunting about how the ideals from Corbusier’s 1929 writings echo throughout the city's design. This film stands out for its thoughtful examination of architecture as a living narrative, not merely a backdrop.
