New Town Utopia

About This Movie

The pacing has this almost dreamlike quality, weaving between interviews and the vibrant, yet sometimes bleak, depictions of the town. It really showcases how architecture can reflect societal hopes and disappointments, with some unexpected humor thrown in courtesy of those angry puppets, which adds a layer of irony. The doc feels like a patchwork of different voices, all coming together to paint a picture that's both hopeful and disillusioned. It's a curious exploration of ambition and reality, making it a fascinating watch for anyone into how art influences society.
