Back in the days of "educational" shorts which probably began life as the first halves of theatrical programs, we got this presentable B&W French two reeler covering the architect's work with some imagination. Ends with the screen split between an airial of Paris and le Courbusier's vision of how it should be.

Kast's major work was still to come.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.

How to represent the architect, his work, his projects? This classic documentary film explores many avenues in this regard. Pierre Kast defends and illustrates the theories and achievements of Le Corbusier, with the assistance of the architect himself.
