The Proposal

About This Movie

The Proposal is an intriguing look into the world of architecture and art, all through the lens of Jill Magid's unique perspective. It dives deep into the complexities surrounding the legacy of Luis Barragán, a towering figure in Mexican architecture. The pacing feels intentional, almost meditative at times, as it allows viewers to soak in the weight of the archives and the issues of ownership and legacy. Magid’s approach combines personal narrative with broader themes of cultural memory, and her presence throughout adds a layer of intimacy. The tone is contemplative, sometimes confrontational, as she navigates the fine line between admiration and critique. Visually, it's striking, making you really feel the spaces Barragán created, while also questioning who gets to claim that history.
