In just fifteen minutes, this short film manages to make an immersion in Jean Nouvel's craft, thoughts - on architecture and art -, and something else: his deep relationship with the metaphysics of our world.
The soundtrack plays the delicacy and ethereal quality of the matter, making Nouvel's words reverberate through the music.
The photography pays attention to the light, shadows, framing and reflections created by his buildings.
Time, as a philosophical term, is present in all of Jean Nouvel's works, and director Matt Tyrnauer makes a great point in putting it as the main theme of this film.
