Architecton Reviews
Architecton isn’t for the impatient. But it is grandly fascinating, an unusual documentary that pushes the boundaries of the form.
Great artists major in defiance and minor in delusion: You will want to see what I have to offer, and love it, even if it is unfamiliar, disquieting and as ravishingly uncommercial as “Architecton.”
It’s a fine way to round out Kossakovsky’s trilogy.
It’s an attractive film on the surface, but one that cuts deeper than meets the eye, a consistent element of Kossakovsky’s artistry that only evolves as his observations grow more profound.
Gentle and contemplative one moment, then vibrant and animated the next, enlivening its essentially motionless subject such that it develops an amiable, multifaceted character
A hypnotic and lyrical look at the primary materials that make up modern-day habitats.
Every time a majestic shot of stone is juxtaposed against a pathetic excretion of wet concrete, it becomes clear that we’re permanently changing our planet’s ecosystem by cutting corners on the things we build.
Many shots are long, uninterrupted takes of rocks in various configurations. But Kossakovsky is no geologist, studying his subject for scientific discovery, and instead regards them in a way to help us understand their awesome, humbling power.
Though the images are stunning, even sublime, the message is muddled, if not perverse.
...the best way to watch Architecton is to allow the movie take you where it will. Italian architect Michele De Lucchi serves as a kind of guide and provocateur, inviting us to consider the kind of environments we're creating for ourselves.
Architecton comes across as a more plaintive depiction of our desire to imagine ourselves able to leave a lasting mark on this planet.
The documentary Architecton gives an uneven but still immersive look at the beauty, ugliness, and everything in between about architecture made of stone or concrete. The movie's dialogue scenes distract from the majestic nature scenes.
I’m not entirely convinced that returning to scenes of De Lucchi watching two men hammering stones into his lawn to form a “magic circle” offers the powerful statement Kossakovsky desires. But I appreciated the modest enterprise’s poetic implications.
Kossakovsky builds a compelling arthouse look at our imperfect relationship with natural resources.
The best way to appreciate this visual essay is to just give into its vivid and immersive imagery.
A raw, beautiful and demanding essay on the fate of our collective home.
Architecton is quite the transcendent experience and makes you view the world in a more aware, alert light.
The film transforms the transportation, destruction, and recreation of otherwise inert physical matter into a spectacle of profound consequence.
This is a weighty documentary in every sense, inviting us to lose ourselves in the impassive majesty of both natural and artificial edifices.
Considering the thesis, it’d be wrong to celebrate the film’s visuals as simply being beautiful...I don’t think I subscribe to all of Kossakovsky’s ideas as I understand them here, however, so I’m fine appreciating the destruction as an attraction.
