‘From Inside Out: The Architecture of Peter Zumthor’ Review: Wim Wenders’ Technically Dazzling, Slightly Dry 3D Doc
Like the director's 'Pina' and 'Anselm,' the Venice-premiering film allows the viewer new perspectives, in this case on the work of the visionary Swiss architect of the title.
Wim Wenders' documentary, "From Inside Out — The Architecture of Peter Zumthor," premiered at the Venice Film Festival. The film, shot in 3D and backed by Brad Pitt, explores the minimalist, brutalist works of Swiss-German architect Peter Zumthor. Wenders, known for his work on music and dance documentaries, uses his camera to delve into the architect's otherworldly interiors, presenting Zumthor's designs as a luxury travelogue.
The film, while proving successful on its own terms, remains niche due to its subject matter. Wenders' experiment with 3D as a filmmaking tool, which he aims to de-gimmick, finds mixed results. The documentary, while marking Wenders' most radical and relaxed effort, is best suited for those with a deep fascination for Zumthor's monumental constructions.
