一部令人驚訝的紀錄片。
孟加拉建國之旅，夾雜路易斯康的建築巨作，The Tiger City.
The Estonian-born American architect Louis Kahn believed that architecture should be timeless. Whether it’s the Salk Institute in California or the Phillips Exeter Academy Library in New Hampshire, his modernist architecture transcends time and speaks to universal human values. His architectural brilliance is visible in condensing the spirit of a place in its building. One such great example of monumental modernism is the National Parliament House of Bangladesh. More than a building, it is a symbol of democracy, a source of pride for its citizens.
Louis Kahn's Tiger City is a feature-length documentary bringing to screen the untold story of Kahn’s parliamentary complex for the first time. It is a testament to Kahn’s tenacity and commitment to realizing his design, capturing its journey from vision to completion amidst an economic crisis and the country’s war for liberation.
Starring three-time Oscar-nominated actor Debra Winger; the only South Asian winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, Late Balkrishna Doshi; and Louis Kahn’s son, filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn, the film examines what it means to be a true artist in a hyper-commercial world.
