Le Corbusier, l'architecte du bonheur

About This Movie

So, 'Le Corbusier, l'architecte du bonheur' is really something for those who appreciate not just architecture but also the philosophy behind it. Pierre Kast dives into Le Corbusier's thoughts on urban living and how cities should evolve with society – it's quite profound. The documentary's tone is reflective, almost contemplative, allowing you to soak in the visuals of Le Corbusier's designs. You’ll see various sketches and plans, particularly of Paris, which he envisioned transforming. The pacing can feel a bit slow at times, but that's part of its charm; it gives you space to think. It’s fascinating to see the way practical effects are used to illustrate concepts rather than just showing buildings. A unique take on architecture, for sure.
