    I had a similar feeling. I went abroad to study in college and came to the United States to study at a university in a quiet town called Storm Lake in a large cornfield in Iowa. Although the school's architecture can't be compared with the film, it was very important at the time. For me, it is also much purer than the European-style buildings in China. At night, the lights and air conditioners will not be turned off. Just like the life there, it seems that it will not change as it has frozen....

    Every shot is a piece of prose, and the building, as the protagonist and also as a "third party", intervenes in the dialogue between the male and female protagonists in a manner that cannot be ignored. The building is cold and rigid like the shackles of loneliness shared by the East and the West. The use of transparent glass and ambient sound brings natural...

    The buildings here are floating, outside of people, and there is no relationship or bond between people and buildings. When architecture and people coexist, the two are miraculously separated, making the ingeniously symmetrical architecture interrupt the narrative logic, pushing the film into metaphysics, closing the entrance and space for interpretation from all angles . Simply appreciating symmetrical composition is not my...

    The most ideal relationship is when people go to the building before it is empty, and there is always a two-way flow of new content. It's a beautiful thing to have a long-term friendship that can take root, what do you think,...

    The intersection of tradition and modernity in the city of Central Columbus, with the help of film/story to convey the "formed landscape" of the old and new buildings and modernism/future style, gender/ethnicity, film narrative/documentary style in urban composition - the formation of architectural or film structure....

    In prose film director and critic Kogonada's whisper-soft debut, the architectural term of negative space is used to draw comparisons to human emotion, balancing clean architectural lines with loving messiness and producing Impressive effect. One of the main joys of the film is how it keeps the dialogue between the various characters flowing, while avoiding any possible romantic entanglement traps that are acceptable to people with no knowledge of modernism or architecture, It's like watching a...

Columbus quotes

  • Jin: I don't know if I believe that, you know? That architecture has the power "to heal".

  • Jin: The problem with being a tour guide is that you stop seeking. You become some arbiter of tidbit facts... that you start repeating over and over.
