So, 'Hostile Architecture: The Fight Against the Homeless' dives deep into this unsettling trend in urban design. The film presents a raw look at how cities sculpt their spaces to deter the homeless, often without us even realizing it. It’s shot in a straightforward manner, letting the visuals speak volumes—those spikes and metal bars become almost characters in their own right. The pacing feels deliberate, almost haunting, as it builds a case against this form of social exclusion. It challenges viewers to reconsider public spaces, and the ethical implications of design choices. It's not about flashy editing or a grand narrative; it's more about the subtlety of what we accept as normal. A thought-provoking watch for anyone interested in social issues and urban planning.
