Featured review
Marklear-1 summed up the film perfectly. I watched it one or 2 segments at a time to help get through it, each segment being about 25 minutes. The film is at it's best when it concentrates on the structure architecture rather than the contents of the building. About half the films were very engrossing, primarily The Berlin Philharmonic, Halden Prison and Centre Pompidou. Unfortunatly, The Oslo Opera House wasn't about the building at all (which is stunning from the outside) but about the ballet dancers inside it. All the segments had a meditative quality about them.
