If you're in the mood for something genuinely experimental and offbeat—a French musical-documentary hybrid that blends architecture, choreography, and community dialogue—this is a fascinating rabbit hole to tumble down tonight. Skip it only if you need something conventional; dive in if you want your cinema weird and wonderful.
Plot
"L'Architecte de Saint-Gaudens" is a musical and choreographic film. An architect sings, while he strolls about, about the buildings he constructed in a small village in the Pyrénées. He is accompanied by the inhabitants, who sing and dance in their homes, workplaces, and places of study. A dialog takes shape between the architect and the population about his work, its paradoxes and its rules.
