19 Aug
Summary
- Brad Pitt executive produced Wim Wenders' documentary on architect Peter Zumthor.
- The film showcases Zumthor's diverse architectural projects, including LACMA.
- Pitt's significant support was crucial for the controversial LACMA project's approval.
Brad Pitt has come on board Wim Wenders' new documentary, "From Inside Out - The Architecture of Peter Zumthor," serving as an executive producer. The film, shot over the past 14 years, offers an in-depth look at the works of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Peter Zumthor.
Wenders' documentary journeys through Zumthor's creations, from early Alpine homes to the recently completed Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Pitt was a key advocate for Zumthor's challenging LACMA design, with his support at a 2019 hearing considered vital for its approval.
"From Inside Out" will have its premiere at the Venice Film Festival next month, presented out of competition. Similar to Wenders' previous work, this documentary was filmed in 3D, aiming to immerse viewers in Zumthor's architectural spaces.
The film examines significant projects such as Switzerland's Therme Vals spa, Germany's Kolumba Museum, and Norway's Steilneset Memorial. It also revisits the abandoned Topography of Terror museum project in Berlin due to escalating costs.
